| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aims to clarify the linkage between anti-intellectualism and whiteness by examining the discourse regarding slavery, popular sovereignty, and anti-miscegenation laws in the 19th century United Sates. In particular, this study focuses on the pro-slavery theories in the South, the American Enlightenment and its development, and the anti-black thought that backed up anti-miscegenation laws and considers the reasons why the people excluded the black people from all aspects of American life.
As a result, it is made clear that these discourses were strongly influenced by anti-intellectualism that claimed absolute equality in both religious and civil areas. But it is also made clear that they were profoundly affected by people’s consciousness that defined the scope of ‘people’ by race.
