Title: The great divergence
Description: "One of two self-contained companion volumes, this unusual collection surveys the transformation of the major regions of the South, during the course of the 'long twentieth century'. Individual essays examine the transformation of particular regions of the South, highlighting not only the uneven development in the region, but also the unequal relations between North and South, often, but not necessarily, associated with political dimensions during the period from the mid-nineteenth century to the present."--BOOK JACKET.
