Race and Class in the American South Since 1890 - Paperback

by Rick Halpern (Editor), Melvyn Stokes (Editor)

A clear and accessible overview of the 20th century history of the American South. Topics covered include labour, intellectual and women's history as well as an analysis of the impact of Federal government policy on economic and social affairs. While embracing several fields, the authors all address the same theme: the slow loss of Southern distinctiveness and the effect this process has had on issues of race and class.
