Book Review


The Role of Ideas in the Civil Rights South. Ed. by Ted Ownby. (Jackson: University Press of Mississippi, 2002. xiv, 219 pp. Cloth, $46.00, ISBN 1-57806-467-8. Paper, $18.00, ISBN 1-57806-468-6.)
Ted Ownby has edited an invaluable collection of nine new essays on the role of ideas in the civil rights movement, all but one first delivered at a Porter L. Fortune Jr. History Symposium at the University of Mississippi. Only five of the essays are primarily focused on intellectual history, including four essays on Martin Luther King Jr.'s theological beliefs and a fine essay by Richard H. King on conservative intellectuals' notions of equality in the civil rights era. Other essays include Linda Reed's brief account of the life of Fannie Lou Hamer, a probing analysis of the failure of southern liberals by Tony Badger, a provocative sympathetic account of the Arkansas segregationist Jim Johnson's career by Elizabeth Jacoway, and a short but suggestive analysis of black defenders of segregation by Lauren F. Winner. . . .
