One of the most controversial historians of the American South,
Ulrich Bonnell Phillips, has been the object of intense scholarly
interest for nearly seventy-five years. His contributions to our
knowledge of the social and economic aspects of slavery--along with
his well-known racial and class biases--have been discussed
extensively. This anthology represents the best work on Phillips
published between 1913 and 1986.
The senior editor's introduction examines Phillips' role in the
transition to the new social and economic approach that
characterizes contemporary historiography. Twenty-six essays and
excerpts by recognized authorities assess various aspects of
Phillips's writings and career, including his background and
training, regional and racial prejudices, methodology, and the
historical genres in which he worked. A brief interpretive
introduction prefaces each chapter. A chronological listing of the
critical literature on Phillips completes the volume. Reflecting
the vast scope of Phillips's contributions and his pervasive
influence in the field, this collection is pertinent to studies in
southern history, historiography, Afro-American history, and the
history of race relations.
