The Enduring South

“Confirms the persistence of marked differences in attitude between white southerners and other Americans.” — Jonathan Yardley, New Republic

“Reed has written a stimulating book. [Readers] will appreciate the clarity of his argument, his vigorous prose, and the occasional flashes of humor which enliven his pages.” — Journal of Southern History

“An extraordinary book which should have wide appeal. . . . This is a book about the Southern mind, attitudes, and behavior, by a gifted young sociologist who clearly relishes both the style and the traditions of the South.” — Public Opinion Quarterly
