Series Statement:
Politics and culture in the twentieth-century South
Content:
For most historians, the hostilities of the Civil War gave way to the nationalizing forces of cultural reunion. Ring contends this buoyant mythology competed with an equally powerful representation of the backward Problem South--one that resisted reformation by northern philanthropists, southern liberals, and federal experts.
Note:
Regional, national, and global designs -- The "Southern problem" and readjustment -- The menace of the diseased South -- The white plague of cotton -- The poor white problem as the "new race question" -- The "race problem" and the fiction of the color line -- The enduring paradox of the South.
