Identifying Marks: Race, Gender, and the Marked Body in Nineteenth-Century America
Jennifer Putzi
This study looks at the presence of marked people in canonical and lesser-known works, including exploration narratives, romances, and frontier novels. Putzi shows how tattoos, scars, and brands function both as stigma and as emblem of healing and survival, blurring the line between the biological and social, the corporeal and spiritual.
