{"product_id":"the-south-is-another-land-bruce-clayton-9780313255564","title":"The South Is Another Land: Essays on the Twentieth-Century South","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne might argue as to whether  the South is another land' or only a separate verse in the American song. There should be little argument over the usefulness of this collection of ten essays. They find their common ground in a loose schema--the 20th-century South with subsections on politics,  the world of work, ' religious affairs, and the  search for the South.' All the work is most competently done. It may appear to some that the essays on the southern politicians are generic stories now thrice told; however, they show the individual differences and the uniqueness of personality that always make the biographical approach worthwhile. For sheer relevance to contemporary concerns it would be hard to surpass Willard B. Gatewood's  After Scopes: Evolution in the South.' The expected questions of the southern nature, character, identity, and mind make their due appearances. Full notes with each essay, and a useful bibliographical essay on the major works. There is something here for professor, student, and general reader; university, college, and public libraries should have this volume. Choice \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe South is another land--different from the rest of the nation in its identity and its self-perception. This was the conclusion reached by ten outstanding historians after completing the research collected in this essay collection. Every recognized topic of importance in Southern and American history--politics, race, religion, women's role, social, economic, and intellectual history--is incorporated in this collection of essays.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce Clayton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313255563\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313255564\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/18\/1987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.74h x 6.18w x 0.88d","brand":"Bruce Clayton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47757366919423,"sku":"9780313255564","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d98d97e0-ba91-4009-a40c-871c1bb9ac92.jpg?v=1765510214","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-south-is-another-land-bruce-clayton-9780313255564","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
