Edwards, L: Gendered Strife and Confusion

A CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title, 1998.

"Completely recasts the era of Reconstruction, redefining the idea of 'politics' and remaking the category of 'labor.' The effects are quietly revolutionary, as is the entire fascinating study."--Nell Irvin Painter, author of Exodusters: Black Migration to Kansas after Reconstruction "Formidably researched and carefully argued. . . . A very important contribution to the history of race relations in the United States."--Linda K. Kerber, coeditor of U.S. History as Women's History: New Feminist Essays
