描述
Putting a provocative new slant on the history of U.S. conservation, __Vanishing America__ reveals how wilderness preservation efforts became entangled with racial anxieties—specifically the fear that forces of modern civilization, unless checked, would sap white America’s vigor and stamina.
Nineteenth-century citizens of European descent widely believed that Native Americans would eventually vanish from the continent. Indian society was thought to be tied to the wilderness, and the manifest destiny of U.S. westward expansion, coupled with industry’s ever-growing hunger for natural resources, presaged the disappearance of Indian peoples. Yet, as the frontier drew to a close, some naturalists chronicling the loss of animal and plant populations began to worry that white Americans might soon share the Indians’ presumed fate.
Miles Powell explores how early conservationists such as George Perkins Marsh, William Temple Hornaday, and Aldo Leopold became convinced that the continued vitality of America’s “Nordic” and “Anglo-Saxon” races depended on preserving the wilderness. Fears over the destiny of white Americans drove some conservationists to embrace scientific racism, eugenics, and restrictive immigration laws. Although these activists laid the groundwork for the modern environmental movement and its many successes, the consequences of their racial anxieties persist.

Vanishing America Examines Discourses Of Extinction - Of Species And Of Peoples - To Identify Key Transitions In American Environmental And Racial Thought Between The Mid Nineteenth And Mid Twentieth Centuries. By 1900 Many Whites Had Begun To See Themselves As An Imperiled Race And Increasingly Identified With The Nation's Dwindling Wildlife. Fearing They Would Share Indians' Anticipated Extinction, Elite Environmental Pundits Developed Racially-charged Preservationist Arguments That Influenced The Development Of Scientific Racism, Eugenics, Immigration Restriction, And Population Control, And Which Still Inform The Modern Environmental Movement. Vanishing America Suggests That A Long History Of Drawing Connections Between Environmental Health And The Mental And Physical Wellbeing Of White Americans Has Helped Create An Enduring Divide Between The Nation's Environmental Movement, On The One Hand, And The Nation's Poor People And Nonwhite Races On The Other.-- Introduction: A Nation's Park, Containing Man And Beast -- Surviving Progress -- Preserving The Frontier -- A Line Of Unbroken Descent -- The Last Of Her Tribe -- Dead Of Its Own Too-much -- Epilogue: De-extinction. Miles A. Powell. Includes Bibliographical References And Index.

Vanishing America examines discourses of extinction - of species and of peoples - to identify key transitions in American environmental and racial thought between the mid nineteenth and mid twentieth centuries. By 1900 many whites had begun to see themselves as an imperiled race and increasingly identified with the nation's dwindling wildlife. Fearing they would share Indians' anticipated extinction, elite environmental pundits developed racially-charged preservationist arguments that influenced the development of scientific racism, eugenics, immigration restriction, and population control, and which still inform the modern environmental movement. Vanishing America suggests that a long history of drawing connections between environmental health and the mental and physical wellbeing of white Americans has helped create an enduring divide between the nation's environmental movement, on the one hand, and the nation's poor people and nonwhite races on the other.-- Provided by publisher
