Beskrivning
Exploring the gendered dimension of political conflicts, Laura Edwards links transformations in private and public life in the era following the Civil War. Ideas about men's and women's roles within households shaped the ways groups of southerners-elite and poor, whites and blacks, Democrats and Republicans-envisioned the public arena and their own places in it. By using those on the margins to define the center, Edwards demonstrates that Reconstruction was a complicated process of conflict and negotiation that lasted long beyond 1877 and involved all southerners and every aspect of life.

Recensioner i media

A CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title, 1998."Completely recasts the era of Reconstruction, redefining the idea of 'politics' and remaking the category of 'labor.' The effects are quietly revolutionary, as is the entire fascinating study."--Nell Irvin Painter, author of Exodusters: Black Migration to Kansas after Reconstruction "Formidably researched and carefully argued. . . . A very important contribution to the history of race relations in the United States."--Linda K. Kerber, coeditor of U.S. History as Women's History: New Feminist Essays
