Descendants of a prominent slaveholding family  Elizabeth  Grace  and Katharine Lumpkin grew up in a culture of white supremacy. But while Elizabeth remained a lifelong believer  her younger sisters chose vastly different lives. Seeking their fortunes in the North  Grace and Katharine reinvented themselves as radical thinkers whose literary works and organizing efforts brought the nations attention to issues of region  race  and labor. In Sisters and Rebels  National Humanities Awardwinning historian Jacquelyn Dowd Hall follows the divergent paths of the Lumpkin sisters  who were estranged and yet forever entangled by their mutual obsession with the South. Tracing the wounds and unsung victories of the past through to the contemporary moment  Hall revives a buried tradition of Southern expatriation and progressivism; explores the lost  revolutionary zeal of the early twentieth century; and muses on the fraught ties of sisterhood. Grounded in decades of research  the familys private papers  and interviews with Katharine and Grace  Sisters and Rebels unfolds an epic narrative of American history through the lives and works of three Southern women. 35 black and white illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648206331957,"sku":"ByrdShop_0393047997","price":24.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780393047998.jpg?v=1781712560","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/sisters-and-rebels-a-struggle-for-the-soul-of-america-9780393047998","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
