One might argue as to whether `the South is another land' or only a
separate verse in the American song. There should be little
argument over the usefulness of this collection of ten essays. They
find their common ground in a loose schema--the 20th-century South
with subsections on politics, `the world of work,' religious
affairs, and the `search for the South.' All the work is most
competently done. It may appear to some that the essays on the
southern politicians are generic stories now thrice told; however,
they show the individual differences and the uniqueness of
personality that always make the biographical approach worthwhile.
For sheer relevance to contemporary concerns it would be hard to
surpass Willard B. Gatewood's `After Scopes: Evolution in the
South.' The expected questions of the southern nature, character,
identity, and mind make their due appearances. Full notes with each
essay, and a useful bibliographical essay on the major works. There
is something here for professor, student, and general reader;
university, college, and public libraries should have this volume.
Choice The South is another land--different from the rest of the
nation in its identity and its self-perception. This was the
conclusion reached by ten outstanding historians after completing
the research collected in this essay collection. Every recognized
topic of importance in Southern and American history--politics,
race, religion, women's role, social, economic, and intellectual
history--is incorporated in this collection of essays.
