ISBN: 9780195080346 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. No American needs to be told that the Civil War brought the United States to a critical juncture in its history.

Yet few of us understand how the war transformed gender roles and attitudes toward sexuality among American citizens. Divided Houses is the first book to address this sorely neglected topic, showing how the themes of gender, class, race, and sexuality interacted to forge the beginnings of a new society.
In this... No American needs to be told that the Civil War brought the United States to a critical juncture in its history. The war changed forever the face of t...
