Recenzje

'This volume traces the activities of the Southern States Industrial Council (SSIC), an organization strongly supported by textile mill owners. … With the perception that the New Deal was anti-southern as a result of the influence exercised over it by northern liberals, SSIC leaders were among the first to break with the region's traditional party and favor two-party competition. This volume documents the shifting SSIC policy emphasis from the 1930s through the 1960s. … Recommended. Graduate students through faculty.' C. S. Bullock, III, Choice
