This volume of The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture offers a timely, authoritative, and interdisciplinary exploration of issues related to social class in the South from the colonial era to the present. With introductory essays by J. Wayne Flynt and by editors Larry J. Griffin and Peggy G. Hargis, the volume is a comprehensive, stand-alone reference to this complex subject, which underpins the history of the region and shapes its future.
In 58 thematic essays and 103 topical entries, the contributors explore the effects of class on all aspects of life in the South--its role in Indian removal, the Civil War, the New Deal, and the civil rights movement, for example, and how it has been manifested in religion, sports, country and gospel music, and matters of gender. Artisans and the working class, indentured workers and steelworkers, the Freedmen's Bureau and the Knights of Labor are all examined. This volume provides a full investigation of social class in the region and situates class concerns at the center of our understanding of Southern culture.

Editorial Reviews

Review

[A] multi-year, multi-dimensional, and unprecedented series.--Library Journal

[This book] proves itself both an indispensible tool for academics researching the material culture or semiotics of the South and a singular addition to the encyclopedia.--The Southern Register

Review

Social class is both bold mystery and defining chasm in the American South. Where else would one expect to find more poor people and more politicians who are completely untroubled by their plight, than in the South of the twenty-first century? The scholars of this volume of The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture lend an endless contribution to a continuing effort to understand the unfathomable. Bravo.--Gene Nichol, Boyd Tinsley Distinguished Professor and director of the Center on Poverty, Work & Opportunity, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
