A great many other books about the South come to mind. Henry Grady’s _The New South_, published in 1890, is almost indispensable. Another necessary work, of seminal influence, is the Agrarians’ _I’ll Take My Stand_ of 1930. I come back frequently to Matthew Page Andrews’ _Virginia, The Old Dominion_. C. Vann Woodward’s several books are useful: _The Burden of Southern History_, _Origins of the New South_, and _The Strange Career of Jim Crow_. The serious student’s reading list would find a place for _Seeds of Time_, by Henry Savage, Jr.; _Southern Tradition and Regional Progress_, by William H. Nicholls; _The Southern Heritage_, by James McBride Dabbs, and _Goodbye to Uncle Tom_, by J. C. Furnas. Thomas D. Clark’s _The Emerging South_ is good on economic history. Virginius Dabney’s _Below the Potomac_, published in 1942, remains a solid work. Bernard Robb’s _Welcum Hinges_ is at once gentle and delightful. The student should not pass by Harry Ashmore’s _Epitaph for Dixie_ (1958) and _The Other Side of Jordan_ (1960). And of course, before it gets overlooked by reason of its bulk and importance, the multi-volumed history of the South emerging from Louisiana State University Press is a primary reference. Many of the foregoing titles--alas, almost all of them--are the work of Southern Liberals. And I do not seem to have mentioned P. D. East’s _The Magnolia Jungle_, or Hodding Carter’s _Southern Legacy_ and _Where the Main Street Meets the River_, and _The South Strikes Back_, or Robert Penn Warren’s _Segregation_, or Jonathan Daniels’ _A Southerner Discovers the South_ and _Frontier on the Potomac_. Nearly all the recent crop of books are cast in molds more liberal yet: Carl T. Rowan’s _Go South to Sorrow_; John Howard Griffin’s _Black Like Me_, and Richard Wright’s _White Man, Listen!_ Wilma Dykeman and James Stokely have co-authored two books worth serious thought: _Neither Black nor White_, and _Seeds of Southern Change_. A student’s shelf should leave a place for William Peters’ _The Southern Temper_. Several books of largely contemporary, topical interest should be read: Martin Luther King’s account of the Montgomery boycott, _Stride Toward Freedom_; Bishop Robert R. Brown’s _Bigger Than Little Rock_; Virgil T. Blossom’s _It Has Happened Here_; and John Bartlow Martin’s generally well-balanced _The Deep South Says Never_. Martin’s book is the work of a professional reporter. Most of the rest of the books mentioned in this paragraph annoyed the hell out of me.
