It also traces how exceptionalism as a narrative of uniqueness has shaped relations between the two countries from their early days of independence through the contemporary period. Exceptionalism is at the core of every national founding narrative. It allows countries to purge history of injurious stains, and embellish it with mythical innocence and claims of distinction. Exceptionalism also builds the bonds of solidarity that forge an imagined national fellowship of the chosen, but it excludes those deemed unfit for membership because of their race, ethnicity, gender, or class. Exceptionalism, however, is not frozen. As a social invention, it changes over time, but always within the parameters of its original principles. Our capacity to reinvent it is dependent on the degree of hegemony achieved by the ruling class, and if this class has the infrastructural power to gradually co-opt and include the groups it had once excluded"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Exceptionalism $z Haiti $x History. 650 0 $a Exceptionalism $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a National characteristics, Haitian $x History. 650 0 $a National characteristics, American $x History. 651 0 $a Haiti $x Relations $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Relations $z Haiti. 650 6 $a Exceptionnalisme $z HaiÂti $x Histoire. 650 6 $a Exceptionnalisme $z Etats-Unis $x Histoire. 650 6 $a HaiÂtiens $x Histoire. 650 7 $a Exceptionalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01748515 650 7 $a International relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977053 650 7 $a National characteristics, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033342 650 7 $a National characteristics, Haitian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033441 651 7 $a Haiti. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205135 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Critical Caribbean studies. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012654.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=17F48F00253111EE91433F782CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
