Beskrivelse af The Fall of a Nation
The Fall of a Nation is a sequel to the controversial and influential novel, The Birth of a Nation, written by Thomas Dixon. In this book, Dixon continues to explore themes of racism, white supremacy, and the perceived threat of black people to American society. The story takes place several years after the events of the previous book, and follows the rise of a new black political party in the United States. The party gains power and begins to implement policies that threaten the white establishment, leading to a violent and bloody conflict between the two groups. The novel portrays the black party as corrupt, violent, and dangerous, while the white characters are depicted as heroic defenders of their way of life. The Fall of a Nation is a controversial and divisive work that has been criticized for its racist and inflammatory content, but it remains an important historical document of the attitudes and beliefs of a certain segment of American society during the early 20th century.1916. Dixon�������s earlier works including The Clansman, which was made into the movie, Birth of A Nation, made his reputation as the anti-black novelist for the Jim Crow south. In The Fall of a Nation Dixon writes: This novel is not a rehash of the idea of a foreign conquest of America based on the accidents of war. It is a study of the origin, meaning and destiny of American Democracy by one who believes that the time is ripe in this country for a revival of the principles on which our Republic was founded.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
