Without question the South is the most examined region in American history. Yet most studies have not ventured beyond World War II, and still fewer have considered the rural South. The New South - the urban, industrial Sunbelt South - has received the lion's share of scholarly attention up to now.

The Rural South Since World War II is an essential volume for all students of the South.
