Books by Numan V. Bartley

This work returns the South's civil rights revolution of 1954-1965 to its historical context. It anchors the racial crises within other nonracial events of the postwar decade, and pursues its transforming and often paradoxical consequences through the quiet death of Jim Crow in the 1970s.

Originally published in 1969, this work deals with the politics of the southern states' resistance to public school integration. The text documents the opposition to de-segregation in each southern state and clarifies the attitudes underlying the massive resistance to integration.
