A massive bureaucratic undertaking, it redefined the American people as a population, laying bare social divisions as wealthy draftees hired substitutes to serve in their stead. The draft is the context in which American politics met and also transformed into a new kind of biopolitics, and these substitutes reflect the transformation of how the state governed American life. Censorship and the suspension of habeas corpus prohibited free discussions over the draft's significance, making literary devices and genres the primary means for deliberating over the changing meanings of political representation and citizenship. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAssembling an extensive textual and visual archive, \u003cem\u003ePatriotism by Proxy\u003c\/em\u003e examines the draft as a cultural formation that operated at the nexus of political abstraction and embodied specificity, where the definition of national subjectivity was negotiated in the interstices of what it means to be a citizen-soldier. It brings together novels, poems, letters, and newspaper editorials that show how Americans discussed the draft at a time of censorship, and how the federal draft changed the way that Americans related to the state and to each other.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eColleen Glenney Boggs, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of English, Dartmouth College, USA\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eColleen Glenney Boggs is Professor of English at Dartmouth College.
