About The Mind of the South

Ever since its publication in 1941, The Mind of the South has been recognized as a path-breaking work of scholarship and as a literary achievement of enormous eloquence and insight in its own right.

"Wyatt-Brown’s introduction is the sanest overview of The Mind of the South I’ve yet encountered. It points up the specific and real worth of this remarkable book." — Louis D. Rubin, Jr.

"Sometimes insightful, sometimes infuriating, The Mind of the South is mandatory reading for anyone who would understand the region. Wyatt-Brown’s brilliant introduction reveals the relevance of Cash and his book to our own times."
