This book features a military academy as a microcosm of modern
American culture. Combining the nuanced perspective of an insider
with the critical distance of a historian, Alexander Macaulay
examines The Citadel's reactions to major shifts in postwar life,
from the rise of the counterculture to the demise of the Cold War.
The Citadel is widely considered one of the most traditional
institutions in America and a bastion of southern conservatism. In
""Marching in Step"", Macaulay argues that The Citadel has actually
experienced many changes since World War II - changes that often
tell us as much about the United States as about the American
South. Macaulay explores how The Citadel was often an undiluted
showcase for national debates over who deserved full recognition as
a citizen - most famously first for black men and later for women.
As the boundaries regarding race, gender, and citizenship were
drawn and redrawn, Macaulay says, attitudes at The Citadel
reflected rather than stood apart from those of mainstream America.
In this study of an iconic American institution, Macaulay also
raises questions over issues of southern distinctiveness and sheds
light on the South's real and imagined relationship with the rest
of America.
