In The Unfinished Revolution: Reconstruction and After, 1865-1890,
Professor Eric Foner examines the pivotal but misunderstood era of
Reconstruction that followed the Civil War, the first effort in American
history to construct an interracial democracy.
Beginning with a
discussion of the dramatic change in historians’ interpretations of the
period in the last two generations, Foner goes on to discuss how
Reconstruction turned on issues of continued relevance today.
