William Harris, the editor of Routledge's The Old South: New
Studies of Society and Culture, aims in The New South to introduce
students to the historiography of this later volatile period of
southern history, which starts from the racial segregation
prevalent after the end of the Civil War and continues through the
Civil Rights Movements of the 1950s and 1960s. For many years, this
historiography centered on the writing of C. Vann Woodward.
Woodward remains an important touchstone in the field, but in The
New South, Harris gathers the most significant scholarship
illustrating the range of challenges to Woodward's interpretation
of the South, including the importance of place, the role of women,
the significance of memory, and the story of the long Civil Rights
Movement. The collection also features an introduction to the
historiography of the New South, and a Guide to Further
Reading.
