| |  | | | In Brief
This book contends that in America "individual freedom was always intended to be tempered by republican virtue, and both had consequences for men's relations with women and men's relations with other men. . . . Freedom in colonial America, Kann argues, required constraint. Women (as mothers) and idealsof martial virtue were its agents, channeling unruly young men into 'predictable, productive, middle-aged adults who could be trusted to exercise individual rights without fostering anarchy or tyranny in society.' Notions of freedomin America are built upon a 'middle-class preoccupation with controlling men's fickle nature and foolish struggles, restless desires and acquisitive impulses, self-delusions and sustained brutality.'" (Contemp Sociol) Index.
