Author: PAUL M. GASTON
Title: The New South Creed
Description: NewSouth Books, 1970. Paperback. Pp: 307. First published in 1970, The New South Creed has lost none of its usefulness to anyone examining the dream of a new South - prosperous, powerful, racially harmonious - that developed in the three decades after the Civil War, and the transformation of that dream into widely accepted myths, shielding and perpetuating a conservative, racist society. Many young moderates of the period created a philosophy designed to enrich the region - attempting to both restore the power and prestige and to lay the race question to rest. In spite of these men and their efforts, their dream of a New South joined the Antebellum illusion as a genuine social myth, with a controlling power over the way in which their followers, in both North and South, perceived reality. ISBN: 9781588380531. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
