Surveying the South collects some of John Shelton Reed's classic
essays which offer an introduction to the sociology of the South.
Beginning with the roots of regional sociology, Reed examines
threads of continuity and change in southern sociology, including
such issues as southern stereotypes and the changing definition of
the South. His history of the mythical but often-cited correlation
between cotton prices and lynching offers a profound warning
students and scholars alike - ""always verify your references"".
Reed offers several essays on what has been called ""the central
theme"" of southern sociology - race relations. He demonstrates the
success of the civil rights movement in the South and explores the
ways in which southern identity has become more regional than
racial. Reed concludes this collection with a plea to sociologists
to abandon the effort to ""sound scientific"". ""Let's not seal the
borders of our profession with an impenetrable style and
vocabulary,"" writes Reed. ""Plainly, outsiders are not
impressed"". This work is intended to be useful to students of
sociology and southern studies and to general readers.
