Böcker av Colin B. Chapell

Examines how religious belief reshaped concepts of gender during the New South period that took place from 1877 to 1915 in ways that continue to manifest today. Grounded in expansive research, Chapell's writing is enlivened by a rich trove of primary sources: diaries, sermons, personal correspondence, published works, and unpublished memoirs.

In the wake of the Civil War, the American South not only formed new legal, financial, and social structures, but citizens also faced disorienting uncertainty about personal identity and even gender itself. Ye That Are Men Now Serve Him traces the changes in southern gender roles during the New South period of 1877-1915.
