As people started moving to the Midwest during the 1800s to embark on new lives on the prairie, women gathered together for quilting bees to help combat the isolation that came with living in a desolate territory. Although they weren't as popular or widespread as their idealized reputation would have you believe, quilting bees served the practical purpose of having more accomplished sewers in on the quilting action to help the less talented ones get their quilts finished properly. Due to the hefty size of quilting frames, smaller homes and log cabins couldn't accommodate more than a couple of women at a time quilting together. When it was time to work on the quilts, beds had to be moved or frames built that could be hoisted up toward the ceiling and out of the way when not in use. Large...

Du Bois's modernism is racialist (he shows a diasporic racial identity to be the result of the violent dislocation of slavery and, at the same time, the unifying ideal that might redress this past and open a different future), nationalist (he reformed concepts of nationality to accommodate international confederations), collective (he considered psychological experiences as inextricable from social and material conditions), textual (he made transcription and analysis an integral part of his methodology), and historical (modern conditions are the result of "world-old phenomena" that require a new form of address).

A final chapter on "African American Scholars and the Discipline of History" relates how historians such as George Washington Williams and Joseph T. Wilson rescued black veterans from fin-de-siecle oblivion only to resuscitate their exploitation as "mechanized resources that are passed from an agricultural to a military machine" (233). Gardner's synthesis of biography, personal narrative, history, and fiction by white women surveys in broad strokes the evolution of Lost Cause mythology and the renationalization of Confederate narratives by demonstrating "the continuing dialogue between interpreters and interpretations" of the war (4).
