Publisher Synopsis
...of interest not only for the local matter of South Carolina, but as one test whether 'race, class, and gender' can (to adapt Marx on the Confederacy) make a history and not just a battle-cry. McCurry offers an abunbance of insight, information and anecdote. She is a gifted historian, engaging large questions. * The Times Literary Supplement * a work with unusual breadth of analysis ... in its sheer breadth of visiona nd attention to detail her analysis includes much that is fresh and original ... This, combined with a persuasively lucid and thoughtful written style, make this work a pleasure to read. * Kevern J. Verney, Edge Hill College of Higher Education, American Studies, Vol 30, Part 2 - 1996 * Read more...
