New South Governors and Education, 1968-1976
University of Alabama Press
Three trailblazers for education reform in the Sunbelt South.
History and Hope in the Heart of Dixie
Scholarship, Activism, and Wayne Flynt in the Modern South
University of Alabama Press
This collection of essays on the social and political history of the modern South consider the region’s poor, racial mores and race relations, economic opportunity, Protestant activism, political coalitions and interest groups, social justice, and progressive reform.
History and Hope in the Heart of Dixie illuminates the dual role of historian and public advocate in modern America. In a time when the nation’s eyes have been focused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita onto the vulnerability and dire condition of poor people in the South, the applicability of research, teaching, and activism for this voiceless element seems all the more relevant.
