Jumpin' Jim Crow Southern Politics from Civil War to Civil Rights

"In its linking of culture and social relations with politics, Jumpin' Jim Crow is cutting edge history and belongs in every academic library."--Library Journal "Jumpin Jim Crow offers a valuable contribution to the study of race relations in the American South."--Junius P. Rodriguez, History "This is a very important book. It might easily have been subtitled A Treatise on the New Southern Political History. The essays in it are important ones, and they hold together very well."--Glen Feldman, The Virginia Magazine "In short, this collection is a revision of how historians think about the postbellum South... It is an important and provocative book."--Clarence E. Walker, The Journal of Southern History "A central contribution to these essays ... is to our understanding of how the conflation of notions of manhood, paternalism, and white supremacy blurred and bridged the distinction between the public and private spheres in Southern life and politics."--Robert P. Green Jr., The Historian
