"An easy, enjoyable and (as usual) thought-provoking read."--Georgia Historical Quarterly
"Contains some wonderful examples of what academic writing has become and is itself proof that solid narrative can be combined with a clear purpose. This work is a valuable addition to the collection of anyone interested in the South. It provides an introduction to the work of some scholars who have been neglected and further food for thought about just what defines the South."--Southern Historian
