The American Empire
1921
The American Empire, written by Scott Nearing and first published in 1921, examines the rise of the United States as an imperial power. The book critiques the contrast between the founding ideals of liberty and equality established in 1776 and the realities of class privilege and the oppression of marginalized groups. Nearing explores themes of colonization, industrialization, and the moral implications of America's expansionist policies, providing a critical historical analysis of the nation's political evolution from a republic to an empire during the early 20th century.
