Interpreting American History: Reconstruction by John David Smith
Provides a primer on the often-contentious historical literature on Reconstruction, the period in American history from 1865 to 1877. In topically arranged historiographical essays, eight historians focus on the changing interpretations of Reconstruction from the so-called Dunning School of the early twentieth century to the most current "post-postrevisionists" writing on Reconstruction today.
John David Smith is the Charles H. Stone Distinguished Professor of American History at The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USA.
