Louis M. Kyriakoudes. The Social Origins of the Urban South: Race, Gender, and Migration in Nashville and Middle Tennessee, 1890–1930. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press. 2003. Pp. xviii, 226. Cloth $59.95, paper $19.95.

Migration history has often focused on landmark events that have caused great upheaval in society leading to the movement of large groups of people from one geographic area of the country to another. One example that is discussed in every twentieth-century American history course is the migration of African Americans from the agricultural South to the industrial North before and after World War I. Louis M. Kyriakoudes expands the theme of migration by exploring one smaller movement during this period in which there was regional or more localized migration from a rural area to an urban area. In this book, he analyzes the migration of rural Tennesseans in forty-two counties in middle Tennessee, a geographic area bounded by the Tennessee River in the west and the Cumberland Plateau to the east, into the city of Nashville, which served as a hub for the region. Kyriakoudes explores the influence of Nashville on the surrounding rural area as an example of the cultural exchange that developed between the urban and rural South. Each area influenced the other, and they became interdependent.
