Beskrivning

Creating a sort of periodic table of the southern populace, Southern Folk, Plain and Fancy catalogs and describes the several social types—gentleman and lady, "lord of the lash" and cunning belle, fun-loving "good old boy," depraved redneck, and other figures—that have animated the region since antebellum times.

Recensioner i media

Drawing on television, film, and country music, Reed creates a typology of white southerners that includes the hero, the villain, the fool, and the victim. In doing so, he provides a strong argument for the roles of the media, labeling theory, and intergroup relations in the creation and maintenance of stereotypes . . . Reed's book is highly readable and entertaining, but with sociological substance as well.
