Our Declaration: A Reading of the Declaration of Independence in Defense of Equality

Winner of the Francis Parkman Prize, Society of American Historians

â€œA tour de force. . . . No one has ever written a book on the Declaration quite like this one.â€â€”Gordon Wood, New York Review of Books

Featured on the front page of the New York Times, Our Declaration is already regarded as a seminal work that reinterprets the promise of American democracy through our founding text. Combining a personal account of teaching the Declaration with a vivid evocation of the colonial world between 1774 and 1777, Allen, a political philosopher renowned for her work on justice and citizenship reveals our nationâ€™s founding text to be an animating force that not only changed the world more than two-hundred years ago, but also still can. Challenging conventional wisdom, she boldly makes the case that the Declaration is a document as much about political equality as about individual liberty. Beautifully illustrated throughout, Our Declaration is an â€œuncommonly elegant, incisive, and often poetic primer on Americaâ€™s cardinal textâ€ (David M. Kennedy).
