| Southern Outcast: Hinton Rowan Helper and The Impending Crisis of the South. By David Brown. (Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, 2006. xvi, 316 pp. $50.00, ISBN 978-0-8071-3178-7.)
|
| David Brown has written a convincing study of a critically important and little-understood southerner, Hinton Helper, whose books were provocative, especially his antislavery tome, The Impending Crisis of the South (1857). Brown mined scattered manuscript sources and exploited autobiographical information in Helper's publications, creating a Helper that comes to life as a complex person whose racial views changed dramatically over time. |
