Infos

Race and Gender at War offers a groundbreaking examination of how race and gender shaped experiences and narratives during the American Civil War. Through vivid analysis of soldiers, civilians, and cultural memory, this book reveals the complex intersections of identity on and off the battlefield-where notions of masculinity, femininity, and racial hierarchy influenced enlistment, combat roles, and postwar remembrance. Drawing on letters, diaries, and official records, this work challenges traditional war histories by foregrounding voices often marginalized, providing a nuanced understanding of how social constructs defined loyalty, honor, and survival in America's most transformative conflict.
