The Gospel of J. Edgar Hoover: How the FBI Aided and Abetted the Rise of White Christian Nationalism
Barbra Streisand. My Name is Barbra
Jumpin' Jim Crow: Southern Politics from Civil War to Civil Rights
Jacquelyn Dowd Hall. Sisters and Rebels: A Struggle for the Soul of America
Can one person change the past? And through that, shape the future? These were necessary questions for historians of the American South before the 1950s, when southern history was still trapped in oppositional narratives that divided along race lines. These questions were also pertinent for someone interested in mounting a historical reclamation process—of herself as well as her region, in the 1940s. By investigating her past as a white southerne…
The Struggle and the Urban South: Confronting Jim Crow in Baltimore before the Movement
The Theology of Unionism and Antiunionism
In Struggle for the Soul of the South: White Evangelical Protestants and Operation Dixie, Elizabeth Fones-Wolf and Ken Fones-Wolf have written white southern Christians back into the labor-centric pre-Brown civil rights narrative. This is long overdue, and very welcome. Whereas important books have addressed the role of communists in the various organizing campaigns of the pre– and post–World War II era, those books have neglected the religious b…
Womanpower Unlimited and the Black Freedom Struggle in Mississippi
"Provides the first comprehensive examination of the Jackson, Mississippi-based women's organization Womanpower Unlimited. Founded in 1961 by Clarie Collins Harvey, the organization was created initially to provide aid to the Freedom Riders, who were unjustly arrested and tortured in the Mississippi jails, Womanpower Unlimited expanded its activism to include programs such as voter registration drives, youth education, and participation in Women …
Faith in Bikinis: Politics and Leisure in the Coastal South since the Civil War
This is a study of six beach resort communities on the U.S. South's Atlantic and Gulf coasts: Galveston, Biloxi, Panama City, St. Augustine, Myrtle Beach, and Virginia Beach. As these cities became leisure destinations in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Anthony Stanonis argues, they were forced to balance the competing demands of modernizing consumer culture and Southern traditionalism. They also participated in an especially d…
Cold War Dixie: Militarization and Modernization in the American South
Alabama Getaway: The Political Imaginary and the Heart of Dixie
Who Gets a Childhood: Race and Juvenile Justice in Twentieth-Century Texas
Using Texas as a case study for understanding change in the American juvenile justice system over the past century, the author tells the story of three cycles of scandal, reform, and retrenchment, each of which played out in ways that tended to extend the privileges of a protected childhood to white middle- and upper-class youth, while denying those protections to blacks, Latinos, and poor whites. On the forefront of both progressive and "get tou…
Battling the Plantation Mentality: Memphis and the Black Freedom Struggle
Sex, Segregation, and the Sacred after Brown
Asked to explain the victories of the civil rights movement, activists have often replied, “God was on our side.” Martin Luther King Jr., for example, portrayed himself and his cause as divinely sanctioned, positioning segregationists clearly across the fence. “We have the strange feeling down in Montgomery that in our struggle we have cosmic companionship,” King revealed during the bus boycott in 1956. “We feel that the universe is on the side o…
Land, labor, and politics across the post-emancipation south
Jumpin' Jim Crow: Southern Politics from Civil War to Civil Rights
Before Jim Crow: The Politics of Race in Postemancipation Virginia
The late-nineteenth-century South was never as politically solid as it later became after dis-franchisement. Jane Dailey's fine book is a study of the most impressive and successful of the era's insurgent coalitions of Republicans and independents, the Readjusters of Virginia, who managed to win control of the state legislature in 1879 and then again in 1881, along with the governorship. There have been several accounts of the Re-adjusters, but P…

Before Jim Crow: The Politics of Race in Postemancipation Virginia
Long before the Montgomery bus boycott ushered in the modern civil rights movement, black and white southerners struggled to forge interracial democracy in America. This book examines the most successful interracial coalition in the nineteenth-century South, Virginia's Readjuster Party, and uncovers a surprising degree of fluidity in postemancipation southern politics. Melding social, cultural, and political history, the author chronicles the Rea…
