Creating Citizenship in the Nineteenth-Century South, Paperback / softback Book

Creating Citizenship in the Nineteenth-Century South Paperback / softback

Edited by William A. Link, David Brown, Brian Ward, Martyn Bone

Paperback / softback

Description

More than merely legal status, citizenship is also a form of belonging, shaping individual and group rights, duties, and identities.

The pioneering essays in this volume are the first to address the evolution and significance of citizenship in the American South during the long nineteenth century.

They explore the politics and contested meanings of citizenry from a variety of disciplinary perspectives in a tumultuous period when slavery, Civil War, Reconstruction, and segregation redefined relationships between different groups of southern men and women, both black and white.
