Description

Over a decade ago, the publication of Divided Houses ushered in a brand new field of scholarship on gender and the Civil War. Following in its wake, Battle Scars showcases insights from award-winning historians in addition to emerging scholars. This volume depicts the ways wherein gender, race, nationalism, religion, literary culture, sexual mores, or even epidemiology underwent radical transformations from when American citizens went to war in 1861 through Reconstruction. Examining the interplay among such phenomena as racial stereotypes, sexual violence, trauma, and notions of masculinity, Battle Scars represents the most efficient new scholarship on women and men within the North and South and highlights how lives were remodeled by this period of tumultuous change.
