Publisher's summary: "Drawing on numerous diaries, journals, and reminiscences, Richard Bruce Winders presents the daily life of soldiers at war; links the army to the society that produced it; shares his impressions of the soldiers he 'met' along the way; and concludes that American participants in the Mexican War shared a common experience, no matter their rank or place of service. Taking a 'new' military history approach, Mr. Polk's Army: The American Military Experience in the Mexican War examines the cultural, social, and political aspects of the regular and volunteer forces that made up the army of 1846-48, presents the organizational framework of the army, and introduces the different styles of leadership exhibited by Zachary Taylor and Winfield Scott.

Paperback. Zustand: New. The author of this witty, forthright book takes to the battlefield of current debates about humanities education with impressive intellectual armament and a clear strategic goal:  to reread five texts canonical to modern European intellectual history from a perspective that is profoundly informed by an awareness of gender issues.  James Winders' close readings of Descartes's Meditations, Marx's Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844, Flaubert's Madame Bovary, Freud's Beyond the Pleasure Principle, and Nietzsche's The Gay Science  give specificity to a debate that has too often remained at the level of pompous generalization or airy abstraction.     These works from the canon, Winders demonstrates, either present striking representations of femininity or are conspicuously silent on the question of gender at precisely those junctures where their arguments or stylistic effects depend heavily on unstated gender assumptions and prejudices.  To grasp this is to understand how values central to our cultural inheritance - truth, reason, the self, work, pleasure, and desire - have been constructed by a predominantly white male intellectual tradition.     An intellectual historian with a serious commitment to the humanities in undergraduate teaching, Winders ranges easily over Western culture, equally comfortable with its arcane and popular manifestations.  He juxtaposes Nietzsche and Bob Dylan and illuminates both.  He does not pull any punches:  'Feminism, often only grudgingly tolerated in literary studies,  . .  .  has been the great unmentionable in intellectual history  .  .  . because to take feminist arguments seriously would be to say farewell to the canon that has been the heart, soul, and viscera of the field of intellectual history.'     Winders does not argue, however, that we should abandon the canonical texts.  'I want to show what will happen,'he says,'when a more genuinely democratic academic culture, one that will continue to question the canon and to forge new ones, turns its attention to the traditional canon.'  He constructs a powerful argument for an intellectual approach to the reading of texts that is truly interdisciplinary, in contrast to present practice, where scholars 'proclaim the interdisciplinary implications of the theoretical issues that confront them while continuing to conduct business as usual within their departmental enclaves.'.…
