Written from the perspective of a privileged and conflicted white southern liberal, Daniels' book appeared soon after Erskine Caldwell and Margaret Bourke-White's sensationalizing You Have Seen Their Faces (1937) and within days of Franklin Roosevelt's declaration of the South as "the Nation's no. 1 economic problem." Daniels' anecdotes, vignettes, and recorded conversations with a variety of well- and lesser-known figures across the political spectrum found resonance with readers. Although A Southerner Discovers the South won praise and became a bestseller, Daniels' mild critique of racism and his call for expanded New Deal programs had little impact against a rising tide of conservative opposition to Roosevelt's reform agenda. <br/><br/> <img src="http://www.southernspaces.org/contents/2010/ritterhouse/images/1a-002-ss-10-jritte_md.jpg"> Thu, 20 May 2010 20:27:09 GMT
