Reviews / Votes
"In this compact and suggestive essay, Persky examines an idea at the heart of Southern political economy--the belief that the South was in thrall to powerful economies, first in Britain and later the industrial North...A worthy addition to the literature on Southern distinctiveness."--'Virginia Quarterly Review'More details
