Brothers Of A Vow: Secret Fraternal Orders And The Transformation Of White Male Culture In Antebellum Virginia,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In Brothers of a Vow, Ami PflugradJackisch examines secret fraternal organizations in antebellum Virginia to offer fresh insight into masculinity and the redefinition of social and political roles of white men in the South.Young Virginians who came of age during the antebellum era lived through a time of tremendous economic, cultural, and political upheaval. In a state increasingly pulled between the demands of the growing market and the longestablished tradition of unfree labor, PflugradJackisch argues that groups like the Freemasons, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and the Sons of Temperance promoted marketoriented values and created bonds among white men that softened class distinctions. At the same time, these groups sought to stabilize social hierarchies that subordinated blacks and women.PflugradJackisch examines all aspects of the secret ordersincluding their bylaws and proceedings, their material culture and regalia, and their participation in a wide array of festivals, parades, and civic celebrations. Regarding gender, she shows how fraternal orders helped reinforce an alternative definition of southern white manhood that emphasized selfdiscipline, moral character, temperance, and success at work. These groups ultimately established a civic brotherhood among white men that marginalized the role of women in the public sphere and bolstered the respectability of white men regardless of class status.Brothers of a Vow is a nuanced look at how dominant groups craft collective identities, and it adds to our understanding of citizenship and political culture during a period of rapid change.
