{"product_id":"creating-citizenship-in-the-nineteenth-century-william-a-link-9780813064833","title":"Creating Citizenship in the Nineteenth-Century South","description":"\"This is a remarkable collection of essays. Citizenship clearly forms the backbone for these investigations but the range of the contributors' backgrounds (in terms of disciplinary training) and the approaches they take to the question makes this collection both broad and deep. As it turns out, there is no other way to tackle a concept as central but also as slippery as citizenship. A shorter or more focused collection would miss the nuances and insights that this one offers.\"--Aaron Sheehan-Dean, author of \u003ci\u003eWhy Confederates Fought: Family and Nation in Civil War Virginia\u003c\/i\u003e \"President Obama's citizenship continues to be questioned by the 'birthers, ' the Cherokee Nation has revoked tribal rights from descendants of Cherokee slaves, and Parliament in the U.K. is debating 'citizenship education.' It is in both this broader context and in the narrower academic one that \u003ci\u003eCreating Citizenship in the Nineteenth-Century South\u003c\/i\u003e stands as a smart, exciting, and most welcome contribution to southern history and southern studies.\"--Michele Gillespie, author of \u003ci\u003eKatharine and R.J. Reynolds: Partners of Fortune and the Making of the New South\u003c\/i\u003e \"Combining historical and cultural studies perspectives, eleven well-crafted essays and a provocative epilogue engage the economic, political, and cultural dynamics of race and belonging from the era of enslavement through emancipation, reconstruction, and the New South.\"--Nancy A. Hewitt, author of \u003ci\u003eSouthern Discomfort\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William a.
