Conflicting Worlds: New Dimensions of the American Civil War
Series Editor(s): T. Michael Parrish
This LSU Press multidisciplinary series is a catalyst for the publication of original works that explore the American Civil War era in the most creative and expansive ways possible. The series showcases comparative studies, unusual combinations of scientific and critical thinking, and lively, straightforward writing to appeal to readers fascinated by all aspects of the most pivotal period in the nation’s history. The volumes manifest a variety of innovative historical methods and topics, such as the following:
• Unique coverage of the Civil War within the contexts of professional, scientific, and intellectual disciplines, drawing from such subjects as the arts, business, economics, ecology, engineering, geography, government policy, journalism, law, literature, medicine, philosophy, political theory, psychology, religion, and technology
• Descriptions and explanations of the complex and often ironic relationships among groups of Americans divided by race, ethnicity, gender, and other strong cultural allegiances, motivating interests, and ideological convictions
• Comparative examinations of all aspects of the war in the North, South, West, and sub-regions as well as transnational studies that delineate the American Civil War in hemispheric and global contexts
“I intend for this series to foster some daring departures in probing, defining, and arguing about every conceivable aspect of the most aspiring yet disturbing period in United States history—that gigantic, and in many ways unending, trauma of democracy we call the Civil War.” —T. Michael Parrish, Series Editor
