Bøker av James C. Cobb

A survey of the remarkable story of southern identity and its persistence in the face of sweeping changes in the South's economy, society and political structure. It examines southern identity in all its forms, including history, literature, blues and country music, and consumer culture.

From the Great Depression to the Sunbelt Era the South has pursued industrial development as the remedy for its economic ills. The mixed results of this ongoing crusade are chronicled in this path-breaking study, updated to 1990, in which James Cobb examines the expectations, achievements, and side effects of the dive for southern industrialization.
