Description

The history of the South after the Civil War is generally called "The New South", as it narrates the rise of the new cities of the South and the changes brought by the Civil Rights Movement. But this area of study is also contested, and new work is being done on how the South has changed over time, building on the work of C. Vann Woodward.

J. WIlliam Harris has collected the best of the newer arguments, and set them around several themes-place, women, memory, and the 'long' Civil Rights Movement, to show students what the new arguments are, who is making them, and how they relate to the older version of the history of the New South.
