  • Happy Dreams of Liberty

    Martha HodesARTICLEThe Journal of Interdisciplinary…2023

  • As If I Wasn’t There

    Open AccessMartha HodesARTICLEThe American Historical Review2022

    Reflecting on the dilemmas faced by a historian writing a deeply researched memoir of a childhood event, this essay grapples with the difficulties of writing from childhood memory and addresses the ambivalence surrounding writing about oneself. Confronting the imperative to write about emotion—of both the child in the past and the historian in the present—the essay looks to the work of other scholars and writers for creative and effective models …

  • White Women, Black Men

    Martha Hodes, Martha Elizabeth HodesBOOKWhite Women, Black Men2017

    This book is the first to explore the history of a powerful category of illicit sex in America’s past: liaisons between Southern white women and black men. Martha Hodes tells a series of stories about such liaisons in the years before the Civil War, explores the complex ways in which white Southerners tolerated them in the slave South, and shows how and why these responses changed with emancipation. Hodes provides details of the wedding of a whit…

  • The World the Civil War Made

    Martha HodesARTICLEJournal of American History2016

    The word Reconstruction does not appear in this book's title, by design. The editors' admirable ambitions are set forth in their introduction: to spark an “expansive reimagining” of the post–Civil War era, even as scholars must perforce stand on the shoulders of Eric Foner's magisterial Reconstruction: America's Unfinished Revolution (1988) (p. 3). Guiding The World the Civil War Made is the concept of the “stockade state,” referring to the feder…

  • Lincoln's Black Mourners

    Martha HodesARTICLESocial Text2015Referencias: 4

    Considering the question of the recovery of marginalized voices in the archives, this article reflects on the problem of finding and interpreting the personal responses of African Americans to the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln in 1865. Black freedom was central to the post-Civil War nation, yet direct black voices remain submerged, available most often in public sources like newspapers and sermons or in scant and skeletal personal wr…

  • Matthew Pratt Guterl. Seeing Race in Modern America

    Martha HodesARTICLEThe American Historical Review2014

    This is a book to reckon with, to talk about and argue over in an American moment that some still insist on calling “post-racial.” In Seeing Race in Modern America, Matthew Pratt Guterl takes us on a lively, idiosyncratic tour of what he calls “sightlines,” defined as “a persistent and prescribed reading of an image, or of images related to each other, sustained by the history of racism and race relations” (p. 5). More succinctly, the book is abo…

  • Knowledge and indifference in the New York City race riot of 1900

    Martha HodesARTICLERethinking History2011Referencias: 7

    On a street corner in New York City in the summer of 1900, an encounter between a white man, a black woman and a black man ended in the murder of the white man; soon thereafter, days and nights of white-on-black violence erupted in the neighborhood. When it was over, news of the riot spread across the city, the nation and beyond, and yet no justice was done to the victims, ever. This essay begins to reconstruct the story of the New York City race…

The first part tells the story of the death of the woman's first husband in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War; the second part recounts what little the archives reveal of the years between the end of the war and the woman's remarriage, to the West Indian man, four years later. The third part spins two pos…
