Publisher Synopsis
"Webbs volume highlights an emerging area of exciting research."--Jeffrey D. Howison, Southern Historian"The most comprehensive overview of massive resistance to date, this collection is marked by outstanding research, high quality of writing, and analysis of religion, gender, and politics in sharp case studies."--David Goldfield, University of North Carolina-Charlotte"Collectively, the ten essays in this groundbreaking volume examine the full range of massive resistance, revealing the complexities of race, politics, religion, and regional culture in the modern South. Scholars and serious students of the civil rights era will find this volume indispensable."--Raymond Arsenault, University of South Florida"For anyone who seeks to understand white southern opposition to desegregation in the 1950s and early 1960s, this outstanding book is indispensable. By examining the complex strands of white resistance, these scholars also help us better understand the achievements, and failures, of the civil rights movement."--Dan Carter, University of South Carolina Read more...
