Frederick Jackson Turner was een Amerikaanse historicus wiens werk zich concentreerde op hoe de uitdijende westelijke grens de Amerikaanse democratie en het Amerikaanse karakter vormde. Zijn invloedrijke "Frontier Thesis" betoogde dat deze constant bewegende grens de sleutelfactor was die de Amerikaanse identiteit definieerde, van het koloniale tijdperk tot het einde van de 19e eeuw. Turner promootte ook interdisciplinaire en kwantitatieve onderzoeksmethoden, vaak met een focus op het Midwesten. Zijn wetenschap heeft tot intense debatten geleid en heeft de historische studies en de Amerikaanse ziel diepgaand beïnvloed.

Frederick Jackson Turners Essay von 1893 beweist in der Ära Trump seine zeitlose Gültigkeit. Er ist einer der klassischen Texte über Amerikas Befindlichkeit: In Gottes eigenem Land haben die Amerikaner den Auftrag, vorbildlich für die ganze Welt eine neue Gesellschaft zu errichten. Das ist ihr großes Schicksal. Turner hat die amerikanische »Frontier« im Blick, jenen Grenzbereich im Westen, der immer wieder überschritten werden soll, um neues Gelände zu erobern und zu kolonisieren. Doch was soll man tun, wenn in der ewigen Bewegung nach Westen irgendwann das Meer erreicht ist und sich keine neuen Ziele mehr anbieten? Der Amerikanist Philipp Gassert erläutert in seinem Nachwort das Amerika der Gegenwart in Rückgriff auf diese grundlegenden, seit Jahrzehnten hier erstmals neu übersetzten und kommentierten Texte.
