Interconnections
Explores gender and race as principal bases of identity and locations of
power and oppression in American history.This collection builds on decades of
interdisciplinary work by historians of African American women as well as scholars of
feminist and critical race theory, bridging the gap between well-developed theories of race,
gender, and power and the practice of historical research. It examines how racial and gender
identity is constructed from individuals' lived experiences in specific historical contexts,
such as westward expansion, civil rights movements, or economic depression as well as by
national and transnational debates over marriage, citizenship and sexual mores. All of these
essays consider multiple aspects of identity, including sexuality, class, religion, and
nationality, amongothers, but the volume emphasizes gender and race as principal bases of
identity and locations of power and oppression in American history. Deborah
Gray White, Michele Mitchell, Vivian May, Carol MoseleyBraun, Rashauna Johnson, Helene
Quanquin, Kendra Taira Field, Michelle Kuhl, Meredith Clark-Wiltz. Carol Faulkner is
Associate Professor and Chair of History at Syracuse University. Alison M. Parker is
Professor and Chairof the History Department at SUNY College at Brockport.
