Good survey of a hugely important but frequently overlooked period in US history. Reconstruction was complex, often morally ambiguous, and is still controversial. Although relatively brief, this is serious history, not a novelistic treatment by any means. Foner gives you the basics - after reading this, you can decide whether to dig into one of the longer histories of the period. I haven't yet taken that step, but I can understand now why it might be worthwhile. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
In this updated edition of the abridged Reconstruction, Eric Foner redefines how the post-Civil War period was viewed. Reconstruction chronicles the way in which Americans-black and white-responded to the unprecedented changes unleashed by the war and the end of slavery. It addresses the quest of emancipated slaves searching for economic autonomy and equal citizenship, and describes the remodeling of Southern society, the evolution of racial attitudes and patterns of race relations, and the emergence of a national state possessing vastly expanded authority and committed, for a time, to the principle of equal rights for all Americans. This treatment remains the standard work on the wrenching post-Civil War period-an era whose legacy still reverberates in the United States today. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
