Trump, Masculinity, and the New Manifest Destiny (with Amy Greenberg)
Description
Amy Greenberg, a historian at Penn State University, talks about the role of masculinity in the idea of Manifest Destiny, both today and in the era when that phrase originally became popular, the 1840s, a time of falling economic mobility for men and new opportunities for women. Greenberg is the author of several books about American history, including Manifest Manhood and the Antebellum American Empire (2005); A Wicked War: Polk, Clay, Lincoln and the 1846 U. S. Invasion of Mexico (2012); and Lady First: The World of First Lady Sarah Polk (2019).
