Jumpin' Jim Crow presents essays by twelve distinguished young historians, almost all of whom have recently published one or more well-received books. Their essays, which in some cases reprise themes first developed in those books, are announced by a short preface by the late C. Vann Woodward and blessed in brief afterwords by Edward L. Ayers, Jacquelyn Dowd Hall, and Nell Irvin Painter. The editors and publisher clearly intend the collection as a manifesto by a new generation of southern historians. |
