From the “preeminent historian of Reconstruction†(New York Times Book Review); a newly updated abridged edition of the prize-winning classic work on the post-Civil War period which shaped modern America.In this updated edition of the abridged Reconstruction; Eric Foner redefines how the post-Civil War period was viewed.Reconstruction chronicles the way in which Americans—black and white—responded to the unprecedented changes unleashed by the war and the end of slavery. It addresses the quest of emancipated slaves’ searching for economic autonomy and equal citizenship; and describes the remodeling of Southern society; the evolution of racial attitudes and patterns of race relations; and the emergence of a national state possessing vastly expanded authority and one committed; for a time; to the principle of equal rights for all Americans.This “masterful treatment of one of the most complex periods of American history†(New Republic) remains the standard work on the wrenching post-Civil War period—an era whose legacy still reverberates in the United States today.

As a fashion photographer myself; this book will be a valued resource to my library. It is like a condensed history lesson on the biggest movers and shakers in the modelling industry from the 1940's to present day. An easy to read informative book that gets to the heart of what made these respective women/ models the best in their time and still famous today. And as a bonus the book contains lots of those iconic photos of the respective models photographed by the legendary photographers at the time.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. but it would be really great for someone who is really interested in the lives ...By JBThe information was interesting; but since a photographer wrote the book; I expected there to be more photos. There were only one or two per model. I ended up returning it; but it would be really great for someone who is really interested in the lives and history of these models.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
