Reviews for Parading Patriotism: Independence Day Celebrations in the Urban Midwest, 1826-1876 (Early American Places)
In offering this kind of careful and thoughtful history, relating both change and continuity over time, Criblez is to be commended.
The Journal of American History Parading Patriotism is a well-written study of the oldest of American patriotic holidays, Independence Day, which has had a varied history throughout diverse periods and regions.
The Michigan Historical Review In thoroughly scholarly fashion, this book reflects the excitement and occasional conflicts and disasters that accompanied celebrations of Independence Day as the early American Northwestern frontier became the Middle West.
Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society Parading Patriotism offers a new window into the political and cultural meaning of Independence Day as a tool of creating national identity in the United Sates, and it covers a region that is less understood than it should be.
Sarah Purcell, Grinnell College, author of Sealed with Blood: War, Sacrifice, and Memory in Revolutionary America Looking over the field of what is print on Independence Day and American nationalism, any reasonable person would ask: 'What could be possibly left to discover?' Adam Criblez provides a compelling answer to the question by uncovering and detailing the history of Independence Day in the Midwest. By staking out a new regional perspective, he has shifted away from traditional 'North-South' arguments, and taken on elements neglected in even some of the finest studies.
Gretchen Adams, Texas Tech University, author of The Specter of Salem: Remembering the Witch Trials in Nineteen-Century America Criblez's Parading Patriotism is a revealing analysis of how changing circumstances in terms of growth and population demographics in the urban Midwest influenced and altered views about the annual celebration of the nation's founding and patriotism.
