Subject:

Description:

This course is designed to familiarize students with the culture and politics of the American South (as defined as those states that seceded from the Union via convention in 1859-60), its major figures, and its unique political culture, with an emphasis on the tension and conflict arising from a history of oppression and political disfranchisement. The course is meant to be a dual-disciplinary examination of the eleven formerly Confederate states from the 1920s through the elite/populist and modern periods to the present, with an eye to examining the foundations of the current trends in Southern politics.
