Index
Edited by Julian Maxwell Hayter, Assistant Professor of Leadership Studies, University of Richmond and George R. Goethals, E. Claiborne Robins Distinguished Professorship in Leadership Studies, University of Richmond, US
'Julian Maxwell Hayter and George R. Goethals have edited an
outstanding collection of essays dealing with the repeated efforts
to forge a more inclusive republic in the decades after the
American Civil War. In elegantly-crafted pieces ranging from the
war years to the heights of the first Reconstruction era, and from
the 1960s to the troubled present, these established scholars weave
together often-forgotten stories of struggles for racial justice.
Tragically, many of them remind us that old victories are rarely
permanent, and that the fight continues. An important volume for
all studying the long arc of Reconstructions in America.'
--Douglas R. Egerton, author of The Wars of Reconstruction: The
Brief, Violent History of America's Most Progressive Era
'This diverse collection of nine essays examining the short and
long term dimensions of Reconstruction offers a rich variety of
perspectives for this critical period's impact on our nation's
history and contemporary American life.'
--Robert Kenzer, University of Richmond, US
