Stand Up for Alabama

Governor George Wallace

by Jeffrey Frederick

Price: $54.95

ISBN: 9780817315740

Pub Date: November 2007

Format: Hardcover

Whereas other studies have focused on George Wallace’s career as a national figure, Stand Up for Alabama provides a detailed, comprehensive, and analytical study of Wallace’s political life that emphasizes his activities and their impact within the state of Alabama. Jeff Frederick examines the development of policy during the Wallace administrations and documents relationships with his constituents in ways that go beyond racial politics. He also analyzes the connections between Wallace’s career and Alabamians’ understanding of their history, sense of morality, and class system.

Before Brown

Before Brown

Civil Rights and White Backlash in the Modern South

Edited by Glenn Feldman

Contributions by Andrew M Manis, John White, Patricia Sullivan, John A. Salmond, Jennifer E. Brooks, Sarah Hart Brown, Raymond Arsenault, Linda Beito, Adam Fairclough, Pamela Tyler and Glenn Feldman

Foreword by Patricia Sullivan

Pub Date: September 2004

Format: Paperback

Before Brown details the ferment in civil rights that took place across the South before the momentous Brown vs. Board of Education decision in 1954. This collection refutes the notion that the movement began with the Supreme Court decision, and suggests, rather, that the movement originated in the 1930s and earlier, spurred by the Great Depression and, later, World War II—events that would radically shape the course of politics in the South and the nation into the next century.
