Excellent analysis of race relations--very comprehensive in its consideration of both the black and white sides of race relations. --W. Marvin Dulaney, University of Texas, Arlington
One of the best books I've read in the last ten years. Williamson sets the rise of Southern segregation within the region's obsession with the sense ofplace, is less powerful in psychological than it was in physical terms. He manages to do this without losing himself and his narrative in a mass
of pseudo-therapeutic speculations. I deeply appreciate this book and look forward to using it with my students this fall. --David Stricklin, Tulane University
Excellent for upper-division students. --Kathryn Olmsted, University of California, Davis
