Wayne Flynt is Distinguished University Professor of History at Auburn University and the author of numerous books.
Broadly conceived, deeply researched, lucidly written,
multidisciplinary, and remarkably balanced in its assessments of
Alabama's poor whites . . . [Poor but Proud] is a model of
historical writing and methodology--highly recommended.--CHOICE
"During the last half-century or so there has been an explosion of
literature of the South, its people, and its problems. Scores of
books and articles have been written on aspects of the South's
economy after the Civil War, on race relations, on caste and class,
on southern society, politics, and other major aspects of the
southern experience. Few of these studies, however, match the high
quality of Wayne Flynt's Poor But Proud: Alabama's Poor Whites. A
logical and more detailed follow-up to the author's Forgotten
People, The South's Poor Whites (1979), this is truly a superior
book. There is probably no scholar in the United States who knows
and understands the history of poor whites in the South as well as
Professor Flynt." --Florida Historical Quarterly
