This is a carefully executed study of the effects of federal
economic policy in transforming the American South from the time of
the New Deal to the present. Decrying the South's economic
backwardness and political conservatism, the Roosevelt
Administration launched a series of aggressive programs to reorder
the Southern economy. A generation of young liberal Southerners
entered the national government to preside over these policies.
After 1950, however, Keynesianism replaced New Deal reform as the
mainstay of national economic policy, and the national security
state supplanted the social welfare state as the South's principal
benefactor. Schulman here contrasts the diminished role of national
welfare programs in the postwar South with the expansion of
military and growth-oriented programs, analyzing their
contributions to the South's remarkable economic growth, and the
excruciating limits of that prosperity. Schulman ultimately relates
these developments to Southern politics and race relations. A
forcefully argued work, From Cotton Belt to Sun Belt will be an
invaluable addition to the literature, and an essential guide to
students and scholars of federal policy and modern Southern
history.
