Deep South
Author: Allison Davis
Publisher: Univ of South Carolina Press
ISBN: 9781570038150
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 604
Book Description
First published in 1941, Deep South is the cooperative effort of a team of social anthropologists to document the economic, racial, and cultural character of the Jim Crow South through a study of a representative rural Mississippi community. Researchers Allison Davis, Burleigh B. Gardner, and Mary R. Gardner lived among the people of Natchez, Mississippi, as they investigated how class and caste informed daily life in a typical southern community. This Southern Classics edition of their study offers contemporary students of history a provocative collection of primary material gathered by conscientious and well-trained participant-observers, who found then, as now, intertwined social and economic inequalities at the root of racial tensions. Expanding on earlier studies of community stratification by social class, researchers in the Deep South Project introduced the additional concept of caste, which parsed a community through rigid social ranks assigned at birth and unalterable through life, a concept readily identifiable in the racial divisions of the Jim Crow South. As African American researchers, Davis and his wife, Elizabeth, along with his assistant St. Clair Drake, were able to gain unrivaled access to the black community in rural Mississippi, unavailable to their white counterparts. Through their interviews and experiences, the authors vividly capture the nuances in caste-enforcing systems of tenant-landlord relations, local government, and law enforcement. But the chief achievement of Deep South is its rich analysis of how the southern economic system, and sharecropping in particular, functioned to maintain rigid caste divisions along racial lines. In the new introduction to this edition, Jennifer Jensen Wallach situates this germinal study within the field of social anthropology and against the backdrop of similar community studies of the era. She also details the subsequent careers of this distinguished team of researchers.

In 1976, an innocent letter from Kathy Marshall asking her paternal grandmother, Daisy Dooley Marshall Schumake, what their family lineage was, led Kathy on a four decades-long search for their family roots. Finding Daisy: From the Deep South to the Promised Land, is the third in a series of books addressing that genealogy question.But why would Grandma Daisy tell her family she was born in St. Louis, then migrated to the Promised Land Up North when she actually came from the Deep South, where pre-Civil War plantations and slavery society were the norm? Although the bread crumb trail to grandma's true history was obscured, Kathy finally picked up the tasty clues that led her to the truth.

American Dynasty
Author: Kevin Phillips
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 0141941316
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 525
Book Description
An acerbic, withering account of the ascent of the Bush family to the pinnacle of the American political and social elite and the implications of the dynasty's hold on power for democracy in America. With an unerring instinct for fakery and humbug,Phillips traces the convoluted trail of Bush mendacity through three generations. The picture he paints of a family willing to do ANYTHING to hold power and a country so craven as to vote for it is both very funny and completely dismaying in equal measure.
