Rupert Vance is known as one of the principal developers of the intellectual apparatus of regional sociology, and he observed and commented for some fifty years on the problems and progress of his native region. In these wide-ranging articles, Vance masterfully combines data drawn from historical, demographic, geographical, and statistical sources with anecdotes, personal recollections, and a journalist's ability to extract the telling image from a welter of complex circumstances.

This volume presents the actual conditions faced by the cotton farmer of the South. Victim of the one-crop system, preyed upon by the weather, the weevil, the market, and politics, his lot is a speculative one. Vance analyzes the cotton culture complex shrewdly, sympathetically, and soundly. His book is a rare combination of sound economics and human interests.Originally published in 1929.A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.
