Painting Dixie Red: When, Where, Why, and How the South Became Republican
This book is an eloquent examination of one of the most important political questions of the last half-century. It explores whether the South, once the “Solid South” of the Democratic Party, has truly become a Republican stronghold. And if so, when, where, why, and how did this seismic change occur? Moreover, what are the implications for the U.S. body politic, and for the future of liberalism and conservatism in America? Painting Dixie Red is th…
You Know What it Means to Have 9,000 Negroes Idle: Rethinking the Great 1908 Alabama Coal Strike
You Know What it Means to Have 9,000 Negroes Idle: Rethinking the Great 1908 Alabama Coal Strike Late in August 1908 Alabama Governor Braxton Bragg (B. B.) Comer ended an epic two-month strike involving some 19,000 coal miners. He ordered the Alabama National Guard to tear down the 1,600 tents and temporary housing the miners had pitched to shelter themselves and an estimated 30,000 to 40,000 family members. To clothe his act in some semblance of…

Putting Uncle Milton to Bed: Reexamining Milton Friedman's Essay on the Social Responsibility of Business
Almost four decades ago Nobel prize-winning economist Milton Friedman published an essay on the social responsibility of business in the New York Times Magazine that has since reached legendary status. Friedman's argument—that essentially firms had no social responsibility beyond making profits—was not unknown among fellow pioneers of what has become known as neoliberalism, the “Chicago School,” or Austrian economics. Yet while the thesis was kno…
"Before "Brown: Civil Rights and White Backlash in the Modern South
Before Brown details the ferment in civil rights that took place across the South before the momentous Brown vs. Board of Education decision in 1954. This collection refutes the notion that the movement began with the Supreme Court decision, and suggests, rather, that the movement originated in the 1930s and earlier, spurred by the Great Depression and, later, World War II - events that would radically shape the course of politics in the South an…
The End of Southern Exceptionalism: Class, Race, and Partisan Change in the Postwar South
Unholy Alliance: Suppressing Catholic Teachings in Subservience to Republican Ascendance in America
The Catholic vote has long been one of the most accurate indices of broader electoral behavior in America. Catholic involvement in the 2004 presidential contest far exceeded customary levels in virtually all manners—clergy involvement, voter registration, get-out-the vote activity, and lay activism. Methodist George W. Bush lost the Catholic vote in 2000 to Baptist Al Gore but—largely by stressing the emotional issues of abortion and homosexualit…
Race, Sex, Class and the Status Quo Society: Developing Racial, Political and Religious Attitudes in 1940s Alabama
The racial unrest that exploded in the 1960s American South and the subsequent political tendencies which have characterized the region did not arise from thin air nor were they unrelated to each other. They actually had deep roots in the region's historical and psychological experience. The 1940s were particularly important in the South's evolution in this regard. Focusing on Alabama, this article explores racial, sexual and political developmen…

Reading Southern History: Essays on Interpreters and Interpretations
Historian Glenn Feldman gathers together a group of essays that examine the efforts of important scholars to discuss and define the South's distinctiveness. The volume includes 18 chapters on such notable historians as John Hope Franklin, Anne Firor Scott, Frank L. Owsley, W. J. Cash, and C. Vann Woodward, written by 19 different researchers, both senior historians and emerging scholars, including Jacquelyn Dowd Hall, John Shelton Reed, Bruce Cla…
Clio's Favorites: Leading Historians of the United States, 1945-2000
Although historians talk about each other's work routinely, they have been reluctant to record their thoughts about the leading practitioners of U.S. history. Robert Allen Rutland attempts to remedy this state of things with this collection named for Clio, the Greek muse vested with the inspirations of history. The volume offers a glimpse of the lives and work of historians who must be considered among the most remarkable from the last half of th…
A Lynching in the Heartland: Race and Memory in America
James H. Madison, in this useful work, employs perhaps our most infamous lynching photograph to discuss the killing's place in history and memory. Madison generally makes good by using the 1930 lynching as a point of departure for a discussion of lynching, violence, and even redemption in Marion, Indiana, and America. The author's style is sparse, almost Spartan in its simplicity. While readers may occasionally wish for literary adornment and dee…

After the landmark Brown v.

Soft Opposition: Elite Acquiescence and Klan-Sponsored Terrorism in Alabama, 1946–1950
The traditional division of the Klan phenomenon into three or four separate outbreaks (Reconstruction, 1920s, post-1954, and post-1979) is a useful organizing construct for scholars, but is deceptively simple and not necessarily reflective of reality. Alabama's KKK is examined immediately following World War II. During this alleged period of dormancy there is, instead, a thriving Klan presence in perhaps the most racist of the deep South states. …

Labour repression in the American South: Corporation, state, and race in Alabama's coal fields, 1917–1921
This article is a case study of labour strife in the Alabama coal fields from 1917 to 1921. It speaks to the broader issue of labour repression in the American South by examining the patterns of repression in one industry and in one state. Several revisionist works have been written recently refuting the alleged distinctiveness of the South on the labour issue. This article supplies evidence for a surprising degree of labour militancy; the type o…
