- W851926334 abstract "Aziz Rana has produced a surpassingly good book. He has tied the history of ideas about liberty and citizenship to the history of empire and settlement, coined the notion of “settler freedom,” and used it to interpret the whole span of United States history. Rana has great synthetic powers and a rare gift for teasing out the core normative elements of complicated outlooks and ideologies. He is especially sure-footed in setting out the political and constitutional ideas of the American Revolution and founding period in the transnational context of overturning British imperial rule and projecting an American “empire of liberty.”1 His discussion of the royal prerogative and the governance of colonial subjects becomes a brilliant organizing trope that he carries through to the book’s final pages on undocumented workers in the twenty-first century.2 As Rana knows, he has few more enthusiastic fans outside his immediate family than I. However, the task at hand is critique, and so I turn to the point where I think the book’s surefootedness ends—with the twentieth century. Re-reckoning with the twentieth century and the modern administrative state is a task ahead for Rana. The account he offers in Two Faces of American Freedom falls into a trap that besets many historians and theorists of republican liberty. Call it the “Golden Age” trap—the trap of a lost past and an irredeemably fallen present. This elegiac kind of historical narrative comes naturally for conservative thinkers, but Rana is no conservative. He is unabashedly in search of a past that offers normative resources, reform visions, and critical insights for social and political transformation in the present. Rana’s take on twentieth-century developments, however, ill-serves that critical and normative aim. What is more, his account is somewhat wrong-headed as historical analysis. The Progressive Era and the New Deal were the decades that witnessed the creation of the modern administrative state in the United States.3 The gist of Rana’s account of these decades from the 1900s" @default.
