Book Review

Sunbelt Revolution: The Historical Progression of the Civil Rights Struggle in the Gulf South, 1866–2000. Ed. by Samuel C. Hyde Jr. (Gainesville: University Press of Florida, 2003. x, 275 pp. $55.00, ISBN 0-8130-2577-X.)

In his introduction to this anthology, Samuel C. Hyde Jr. writes that civil rights historians largely have ignored the Gulf South states in favor of those in the upper South and along the Atlantic coast. By focusing on episodes of civil rights activism in the Gulf South, the nine essays in this volume are meant to redress this imbalance. More ambitiously, they strive to move the region from the margins of civil rights history to its center. United by the view that events in the Gulf South influenced the national civil rights struggle, the essays seek to demonstrate that the Gulf South, in Hyde's words, "contributed mightily to the overall progress of the movement" (p. 2).
