History 272 - T he New South

Institution:

St Lawrence University

Subject:

Description:

A survey of the history of the Southern United States from Reconstruction to the present. The primary focus is on the political, economic and social history of the South, although attention is paid to its cultural history, especially through an examination of stereotypes about the South. A major theme is the interrogation of the notion of Southern "distinctiveness," how that notion hasserved the needs of the nation outside the South and whether the South is still a culturally distinct region. The course ends with a consideration of the consequences of the powerful political and cultural influence the South exerts on the nation.
