Reconstruction, from Transatlantic Polyseme to Historiographical Quandary --Afterword: The Possibilities of Reconstruction’s Global History --Contributors --IndexAs one of the most complexly divisive periods in American history, Reconstruction has been the subject of a rich scholarship. Historians have studied the period’s racial views, political maneuverings, divisions between labor and capital, debates about woman suffrage, and of course its struggle between freed slaves and their former masters. Yet, on each of these fronts scholarship has attended overwhelmingly to the eastern United States, especially the South, thereby neglecting important transnational linkages. This volume, the first of its kind, will examine Reconstruction’s global connections and contexts in ways that, while honoring the field’s accomplishments, move it beyond its southern focus. The volume will bring together prominent and emerging scholars to showcase the deepening interplay between scholarships on Reconstruction and on America’s place in world history. Through these essays, Reconstruction in a Globalizing World will engage two dynamic fields of study to the benefit of them both. By demonstrating that the South and the eastern United States were connected to other parts of the globe in complex and important ways, the volume will challenge scholars of Reconstruction to look outwards. Likewise, examining these same connections will compel transnationally-minded scholars to reconsider Reconstruction as a pivotal era in the shaping of the United States’ relations with the rest of the world.Reconstructing America (Series)GlobalizationUnited StatesHistory19th centuryReconstruction (U.S. history, 1865-1877)United States StatesForeign relations1865-1898Southern StatesForeign relationsSouthern StatesHistory1865-1877Electronic books.GlobalizationHistoryReconstruction (U.S. history, 1865-1877)973.8Prior Davidauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1028346Brookins Julia, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbEfford Alison Clark, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbHetrick Matthew J., ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbPrior David, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbRichardson Caleb, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbRothera Evan C., ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbSnay Mitchell, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbTowers Frank, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbTyrrell Ian, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910480943303321Reconstruction in a Globalizing World2444307UNINA
