Descrição
Stephen A. West delves into the transformative social and cultural landscape of the South Carolina Upcountry from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century. Through meticulous research, West paints a vivid portrait of a society in flux, tracing the evolution of its inhabitants from hardworking yeomen to individuals often branded as "rednecks." This shift symbolizes a broader narrative of class, identity, and regional pride that played a critical role in shaping the Southern experience.
West's exploration uncovers the complexities of life in this era, emphasizing the interplay between economic changes, social dynamics, and racial tensions that defined the region's identity. Readers are guided through personal stories and historical events, revealing how these factors contributed to an evolving sense of self in a post-Civil War society. The narrative is both a reflection on the past and a commentary on the lasting impacts of these transformations in contemporary Southern culture.
