In the period between 1775 and 1830 the transatlantic world
experienced more or less constant war, touching not only every
European country but also North and South America and the Caribbean
Islands. The Wars of Revolution and Liberation, inspired by
revolutionary or national ideologies, were increasingly fought by
conscripted troops and militias alongside professional armies. The
conduct of warfare was transformed, as mass armies were deployed by
both revolutionary and conservative regimes, deeply affecting the
political, social and gender order of the societies involved. Not
only soldiers but also civilians--men and women alike--had to be
mobilized on an unprecedented scale. This volume addresses the
relationship between these wars, developing political and national
identities and the changing gender regimes of Europe and the
Americas. Looking at both free and slave societies, it explores
military and civilian experiences of war and revolution, which
shaped as well as reflected gender concepts and practices, in
relation to class, ethnicity, race and religion.
