The National Emergency Countil's 1938 Report on Economic Conditions of the South caused Franklin Roosevelt to view the south as "the Nation's #1 economic problem" and quickly became a standard part of modern Southern history. This important and out-of-print document is reprinted here, along with primary accounts of the Depression-era South, statistical data, and contemporary reactions to the Report.

"This volume makes available a neglected but important document in the history of the New South. The introduction provides excellent background for the report as well as crucial information on the New Deal and southern liberalism. The additional primary documents offer rich source material for class discussion and analysis."
