“This necessary volume, which features new scholarship reflective of the current trends and directions in Reconstruction studies, encourages new questions and fills a necessary void. It is accessible and comprehensive. All of the essays are fine contributions and work well together.” - Hilary Green, Davidson College, author of Educational Reconstruction: African American Schools in the Urban South “A valuable contribution to the growing literature on Reconstruction and one which, importantly, sheds a bright light on aspects and issues of Reconstruction that have received little or no attention.” - William C. Hine, South Carolina State University “No period in our history calls to us more urgently than Reconstruction, but no period demands closer or more subtle attention. These essays, exploring topics from high politics to literature and ranging from European capitals to Indian Territory, elegantly capture much of what historians have to offer a nation that is in many ways still locked in its post-Civil War struggles.” - Stephen Kantrowitz, University of Wisconsin-Madison, author of Citizens of a Stolen Land: A Ho-Chunk History of the Nineteenth-Century United States
