Reviews
"What makes Schooling the New South such an important work is its account of how schools developed into centers of social transformation. . . . This valuable piece of scholarship proves that reform is a never-ending cycle. If not built upon, one generation's reform can be another generation's problem."--The Historian
"A fascinating history of the intellectual development, ambitions, and efforts of a group of educational reformers."--Australasian Journal of American Studies
"Schooling the New South may be the best work yet in revealing the complexities of the transformation between 1880 and 1920 from one-room common schools to the modern graded school system."--Southern Cultures
"Enlightening, thought-provoking, and a pleasure to read."--Journal of Appalachian Studies
"An exemplary piece of scholarship. With graceful prose and deft analysis James Leloudis has succeeded in moving educational history (long considered a stepchild of the discipline) from the periphery to the center of studies of social change."--Journal of Southern History
"Leloudis's work is particularly effective in showing how the middle class used education as a means to establish a new social arrangement in North Carolina."--Educational Studies
