From Cotton Belt to Sunbelt investigates the effects of federal
policy on the American South from 1938 until 1980 and charts the
close relationship between federal efforts to reform the South and
the evolution of activist government in the modern United States.
Decrying the South's economic backwardness and political
conservatism, the Roosevelt Administration launched a series of
programs to reorder the Southern economy in the 1930s. After 1950,
however, the social welfare state had been replaced by the national
security state as the South's principal benefactor. Bruce J.
Schulman contrasts the diminished role of national welfare
initiatives in the postwar South with the expansion of military and
defense-related programs. He analyzes the contributions of these
growth-oriented programs tothe South's remarkable economic
expansion, to the development of American liberalism, and to the
excruciating limits of Sunbelt prosperity, ultimately relating
these developments to southern politics and race relations. By
linking the history of the South with the history of national
public policy, Schulman unites two issues that dominate the
domestic history of postwar America--the emergence of the Sunbelt
and the expansion of federal power over the nation's economic and
social life. A forcefully argued work, From Cotton Belt to Sunbelt,
originally published in 1991(Oxford University Press), will be an
important guide to students and scholars of federal policy and
modern Southern history.
