Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Bartley, an old hand at Georgia and southern history, has written what could well become a model for other states; his Creation of Modern Georgia is a scholarly, well-thought out, compactly written survey of the state. . . . Moreover, the author has succeeded in his task of fashioning 'an interpretive essay' that explores the evolution of various social groups and 'how their interrelationships have been expressed in politics' --American Historical Review Informed by the latest scholarship, particularly the last decade's studies of the South in the thirty years following the Civil War, his work is an ambitious attempt to 'understand Southern history through a study of one state.' . . . Bartley's is a stimulating interpretive synthesis, but one that does not lose itself or its readers in the arcane language of paradigms and models. He punctuates his analysis with briskly written narrative history and with brief biographical sketches that make for a lively narrative flow. . . . A worthy and challenging book --Journal of American History The book's aim is to increase understanding of southern history as a whole by focusing on a single state. New chapters added since the 1983 first edition discuss urbanization and diversification. --Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Reseña del editor:

First published in 1983, this book aims to provide an account of the people and forces that shaped the development of the state and, by implication, other areas of the South. Bartley has enlarged and updated the book with two new chapters to place greater emphasis on the expanded urbanization, industrialization and diversification of Georgia, aiming to show how old plantation-based politics have given way to a more cosmopolitan political culture.
