The Rise of the South in American Thought and Education documents
the generalization of southern values and institutions northward at
the close of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century.
The traditional emphasis in the South on vocational education (a
reflection of the Christian ethic of work as redemption, not the
Republican one of free labor), country life and living, racial
segregation, and the centrality of nature study as a source of both
science and religion, added up to a coherent vision that responded
to "undesirable" economic and social change in the urban North. The
survival of Southern cultural traditions, as antiquated as they
were, posed no threat to the plans of corporate progressives;
indeed, as the book argues, it facilitated them, and nowhere more
so than in the field of education. Modern educators wanting to put
into historical context relations of class, race, and ethnicity as
they persist in today's schools will find much here to inform them,
putting to rest, for example, false distinctions in the history of
school reform between a liberal-progressive North and a
conservative and reactionary South. The book will appeal as well as
to a popular audience of Americans curious to understand the
illiberal foundations of the modern liberal state.
