Description:
This unique collection introduces students to key issues of social reform in the turn-of-the-century American South. The volume's core document - Walter Hines Page's "The Rebuilding of Old Commonwealths" - presents a manifesto for Progressive Era southern reform. Complementing Page's article are five sections of briefer documents - articles, speeches, and official reports - illustrating issues ranging from race relations and Prohibition to education and woman's suffrage. A comprehensive introduction provides historical background for the documents, placing them within the context of Progressive Era America. The volume also features headnotes, questions to consider, a bibliography, and a special section of Lewis Hine's photographs.
