This is a collection of recent scholarship on the aftermath of US slave emancipation, with a range of contributions from leading scholars in the field (Foner, Holt, Fitzgerald), up-and-coming historians with a reputation in the study of Reconstruction (O'Donovan, Baker, Kelly, Downs), and other promising junior and mid-level scholars (Illingworth, Mathisen, Bryant, Rhyne) whose essays here speak to some of the key issues in Reconstruction historiography. Aside from Holt's opening piece and the afterword by Foner, the essays were selected from more than 75 papers presented at two conferences organized by the After Slavery Project (www.afterslavery.com), a transatlantic research collaboration directed by Brian Kelly from Queen's University Belfast in Northern Ireland. The selection was based on three main criteria: the essays had to concern the former Confederate states during the period following slave emancipation; they had to be based on original research; and in the judgment of the editors, the essays had to make a substantial contribution to Reconstruction historiography. We sought essays that concerned the role of labor in Reconstruction but did not confine ourselves to these. The result is a collection that covers a geographically diverse area of the former slave states, grappling with problems central to Reconstruction scholarship in the aftermath of Foner's important synthesis

This thesis questions the use of the 'voice' metaphor in contemporary Irish cultural studies in order to examine
the ways in which gendered identities are constructed in some Irish Catholic communities in twentieth-century
Ireland. With reference to novels by Brian Moore and
John McGahern as well as to Judith Butler's theories of performativity and citational practices, it argues that gendered identities are constructed through the repetitive citation of hegemonic cultural discourses. This thesis
focuses on the ways in which gendered identities are produced and maintained through the citation of the official discourses of the Catholic Church and the State as
well as the more mundane discourses related to popular nationalism and the family.
The first two chapters concentrate on novels whose protagonists are trying to construct powerful identities in urban Irish society through the manipulation of gendered discourses. The discussion of Moore's The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne identifies some of the strategies through which conventional Irish women's voices are constructed
and questions the validity of the category of 'authentic' women's voices. In the chapter relating to McGahem's The
Pornographer, the powerful, abstract male voice is exposed as a performative construct which is sustained only through the abjection of those elements which disrupt the narrator's performance of masculinity.
The remaining chapters concentrate on the use of idealised images such as those of the 'woman-as-nation' and the iconised mother in novels by Moore and McGahem. Moore's The
Mangan Inheritance provides the basis for a discussion of whether or not voices attributed to women in texts by Irish men can be read in ways that disrupt the apparent authority of Irish men's voices. This thesis discusses the issues
raised when men participate in the deconstruction
of idealised images of Irish women. The final chapter examines the processes through which conventional identities are discursively constructed and maintained in two novels by John McGahem: The Dark and Amongst Women. This thesis contends that through the strategic
redeployment of those voices attributed to idealised images of Irish women, voices which are conventionally regarded
as silent, patriarchal gendered identities can be destabilised or displaced
Reflecting on the dramatic changes that had transpired over the previous quarter century, the prominent black North Carolina educator Charles N. Hunter wrote in 1902 that he felt “abundantly vindicated” for having counseled compromise and moderation among black South Carolinians caught in the vortex of the struggle over Reconstruction. His efforts to “influence his own race and party” during a visit to Charleston, South Carolina, in 1874 had met with boisterous hostility from the former slaves comprising the grassroots of the Republican Party. At a time when their hold on power seemed increasingly tenuous, freedmen rejected Hunter’s appeals for conciliation...<br/
