Reconstruction as redemption -- The politics of suffering -- Wounds and scars -- The militarization of freedom -- Ballots and bullets -- The violent bear it away.
"Beyond Redemption explores how the violence of a protracted civil war shaped the meaning of freedom and citizenship in the new South. Here, Carole Emberton traces the competing meanings that redemption held for Americans as they tried to come to terms with the war and the changing social landscape. While some imagined redemption from the brutality of slavery and war, others--like the infamous Ku Klux Klan--sought political and racial redemption for their losses through violence. Beyond Redemption merges studies of race and American manhood with an analysis of post-Civil War American politics to offer unconventional and challenging insight into the violence of Reconstruction."--Publisher's description.
