The American South has long been a subject of endless scholarly
fascination. Historians and social scientists have endeavored to
decipher the "enigma" of the region and to identify the formative
factors that have molded the southern experience.They have searched
for a "central theme" that would explain southern behavior and have
debated the extent to which the region was "distinctive" from the
rest of the nation. More recently, historical scholarship has shown
a growing interest in the evolution of southern culture and the
forces that shaped it.
The southern enigma is yet to be fully deciphered, but "The
Evolution of Southern Culture" addresses questions crucial to an
understanding of the region's history. The book brings together
original, searching essays by nine of the nation's most
distinguished scholars: Immanuel Wallerstein, Eugene D. Genovese,
Elizabeth Fox-Genovese, Eric Foner, Nell Irvin Painter, George M.
Frederickson, Joel Williamson, Bertram Wyatt-Brown
