American Blood argues that many nineteenth-century authors challenged preconceptions of the family and portrayed it as a detriment to true democracy and, by extension, the political enterprise of the United States.

Shirley Samuels, author of Reading the American Novel, 1780-1865 American Blood is an important book on nineteenth century debates over race, family structure, reproduction, and the American novel's engagement with these topics. Jackson's attention to detail and her sense of historical context make this a vital work that will be effective not only as a reference, but also as a provocative source for new interpretations of the nineteenth-century family for literary scholars and historians alike.
