The Mind of the South: Fifty Years Later

by Bruce Clayton

Book Overview

This probing collection of essays assesses the wide influence of W. J. Cash and the profound effect of his classic dissection of southern history.

Perhaps more than any other historian, W. J. Cash revolutionized the interpretation of southern identity. In 1941, when he published The Mind of the South, he exploded the correlated myths of the Cavalier South and the New South and gave historiography a new gauge for examining Dixie.
