From Library Journal:

Daniel's book is a well-written, informative account of the transformation of the South in the 20th century from backwardness to modernism. The author analyzes and explains the South's effort to reconcile past values with the changes that have made it free. Daniel not only deals with political and economic forces, but also provides useful information about the common peoplefarmers, miners, writers, ministers, et al.who have facilitated and have been affected by change. Especially useful is a bibliographic essay in which the author lists and assesses some of the major works on the 20th-century South. Recommended for all those interested in Southern life and culture.
