Civil War, Abolition, After

3 Credits · Level: Graduate

Today the study of Civil War and abolition in the U.S. is a transnational field populated by a diverse array of scholars who have enlivened the field by asking new questions, examining new sources, and above all, by insisting that the study of the war cannot be separated from studies of state-making, state-breaking, and abolition, not just in the U.S. but worldwide. In this graduate reading seminar, we will take the pulse of this busy, comparative, transnational field.
