Rich in tradition, the southern portion of the United States has provided the backdrop for some of the most significant historical events in American history


The South Through Time offers an inclusive, interpretative account, providing a comprehensive examination that places in national context major events including


Reconstruction and the civil rights movement without neglecting the overall contours of southern history


John B. Boles synthesizes recent scholarship to present the latest accepted interpretation on topics such as the nature of Reconstruction


The rise of sharecropping; the Populist and Progressive movements; the nadir of race relations


The role of women; economic and industrial change


The Great Depression; the impact of World War II on the South


The civil rights movement


Environmental and ecological change in the South


The rise of the Sunbelt


The politics of race and the rise of the Republican Party in the South; and the enigma of the persisting South


The third edition incorporates the most recent scholarship, contains more illustrative examples, and updates the bibliographical suggestions


As with earlier editions, much attention is given to African Americans, women, agriculture, industrial and urban development, the environment, and the sense of southern distinctiveness, and the overall interpretation emphasizes social and cultural history as well as economic and political history


Written in clear, elegant prose, the book makes accessible to students a sophisticated analysis of the South's history
