From Library Journal
Many historians of the South have portrayed the modernization of this region through the prism of the North's industrialization rather than as a complex example of cultural development in its own right. In this collection, Georgia historian Cobb gathers six previously published and two new essays that, in the author's own words, serve as an "assault" on the prevalent theories of the South as somewhat aberrant in its evolution. The essay topics are wide-rangingAthe debate over the study of Southern history and the influence of J.W. Cash's classic Mind of the South (1941), the significance of country music's popularity with mainstream America, and a provocative look at the influence of World War II on the emergence of the modern South. Cobb's work draws upon the writing of many historians, and his notes provide for a rich bibliography. A useful collection; highly recommended for all academic libraries.ANancy B.
