Synopsis

Praise for the First Edition

“For an understanding of what was happening and what southern progressivism was all about, [Grantham] has produced a monumental history and resources which may be added to and reinterpreted, but is not likely to be superseded.” ―David Chalmers, Reviews in American History

“The rich detail and comprehensiveness of Grantham’s examination of the South in the first two decades of the twentieth century makes this a definitive work on the topic.” ―Library Journal

“[Grantham’s] masterful synthesis of forty years of scholarship makes the study preeminent in the field.” ―James A. Tinsley, Southwestern Historical Quarterly

“Grantham’s volume . . . puts to rest once and for all any suggestion that the complex, multi-faceted reform effort known as progressivism somehow bypassed the South.” ―Willard B. Gatewood Jr., Florida Historical Quarterly

“Southern Progressivism is a must for students of twentieth-century America and the South.” ―Choice
