Southern Discomfort

Bertram Wyatt-Brown

  • The Southern Tradition: The Achievement and Limitations of an American Conservatism by Eugene Genovese
    Harvard, 138 pp, £17.95, October 1994, ISBN 0 674 82526 8

Eugene Genovese is a Marxist historian with conservative affiliations who has had a greater impact on current interpretations of the Southern past than any other scholar with the possible exception of C. Vann Woodward. Perhaps he can also make sense of the right-wing garbage that nowadays fills American papers and airwaves (his devastating National Review article on The Bell Curve should be required reading).
