Books by Hodding Carter III

Describes the birth of the white Citizens' Council in the Mississippi Delta and its spread throughout the South. Hodding Carter begins with a brief historical overview and traces the formation of the Council, its treatment of African Americans, and its impact on white communities, concluding with an analysis of the Council's future in Mississippi.

Employs a comprehensive approach supported by provocative groundbreaking research to explain the difficulties of the past and suggest considerations for the future of Louisiana's Florida Parishes. The book will stand as a model for the emerging field of southern subregional studies.
