Dr. Bynum's recent research topics include the connections between New South political radicalism and Civil War Unionism and the effects of post-Civil War violence and racial segregation on interracial communities in the New South.
Her publications include The Free State of Jones: Mississippi’s Longest Civil War (University of North Carolina Press, 2001) and Unruly Women: The Politics of Social and Sexual Control in the Old South (University of North Carolina Press, 1992), for which she won the 1994 Phi Alpha Theta national award for “Best First Book by an Author." She received a NEH Fellowship to support the completion of The Free State of Jones, and she is currently planning a book on Southern dissent during the Civil War.
