Reviews of Parables of Coercion by Seth Kimmel

He conducts deep readings of manuscripts, printed books, and archival sources in order to chart the "intellectual consequences of coercion" (12), while noting that participation in conventional structures and modes of inquiry did not necessarily bespeak a conservative, intolerant agenda. In sum, Kimmel intends to capture a more complex intellectual history than what scholars customarily expect from this country in this epoch.
