      American Gandhi

      POLITICS AND CULTURE IN MODERN AMERICA

       Series Editors:

      Margot Canaday, Glenda Gilmore, Michael Kazin, Stephen Pitti, and Thomas J. Sugrue

      Volumes in the series narrate and analyze political and social change in the broadest dimensions from 1865 to the present, including ideas about the ways people have sought and wielded power in the public sphere and the language and institutions of politics at all levels—local, national, and transnational. The series is motivated by a desire to reverse the fragmentation of modern U.S. history and to encourage synthetic perspectives on social movements and the state, on gender, race, and labor, and on intellectual history and popular culture.
