The history of the South in this century has been obscured in
the ever-growing mass of information about the region's rapid
change and turbulent development. In this book, Volume X of A
History of the South, the historical image of the modern South is
brought into full focus for the first time.
George Brown Tindall presents a thorough and well-balanced
historical narrative of the region during the years 1913--1945 when
the South underwent a transformation from a predominantly
agricultural area to one of growing industrialization.
The inauguration of President Woodrow Wilson ended a half
century of political isolation for the South and ushered in an era
of agrarian reforms, prohibition, woman suffrage, industrial
growth, and recurring crises for Southern farmers. During the
1920's the South was caught in a contrast of urban booms and farm
distress. There were flareups of racial violence, and the Ku Klux
Klan was revived. Mr. Tindall devotes considerable attention to the
Southern literary renaissance which produced William Faulkner,
Thomas Wolfe, and many other notable writers and critics.
The Emergence of the New South provides a new understanding of
the changing political and social climate in the South under the
stresses of depression, the New Deal, the labor movement, Negro
unrest, and two world wars.
