The Fluid Boundaries of Suffrage and Jim Crow: Staking Claims in the American Heartland (Lexington Books 2016, paperback 2018). The Fluid Boundaries of Suffrage and Jim Crow: Staking Claims in the American Heartland (Lexington Books 2016, paperback 2018).

The ideas concerning Americanness that are expressed in A Bound Woman Is a Dangerous Thing extend theories I examined in my edited collection The Fluid Boundaries of Suffrage and Jim Crow: Staking Claims in the American Heartland (Lexington Books 2016, paperback 2018). The Fluid Boundaries of Suffrage and Jim Crow: Staking Claims in the American Heartland explores theories associated with intersectional American identities in context of environmental memory. I argue that the oversimplification and reduction of racial and gender inequalities have resulted in an erasure of the long history of the Civil Rights Movement. This erasure contributed to the defensive political ideologies expressed in the Black Nationalist Movement, and the subsequent culture wars. The essays in this book extend Heartland histories beyond the promises of the American Creed into specific histories that explore the connections between environmental memory, intersectional identities, and regional histories of political engagement.
