Reviews

"An admirable volume that probes curiously and often surprisingly into the relationship, real and imagined, between Europe and the South. The volume should prove of value to scholars and lay readers from widely differing backgrounds."—Martin Crawford, Emeritus Professor of Anglo-American History, Keele University

"Americans who care about their country's history will find this book an eye-opener. Two outstanding European scholars have skillfully put together an inviting array of explorations—a number of them brilliantly conceived—that create a radiant prism. By scrutinizing U.S. events from a European perspective, they offer readers a rare opportunity to rethink the American past."—William E Leuchtenburg, William Rand Kenan Professor of history, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

"The U.S. South and Europe is an unusually timely book because it illuminates the Global South, a major new scholarly initiative in the study of the South. The breadth of coverage is striking and makes the volume useful in introducing a wide audience to the international context of the South. That context has always been operating, but the editors bring its dynamics into full light as never before. New perspectives abound as readers meet southern travelers abroad, read about the relationship between the American civil rights movement and race relations overseas, and explore the transatlantic framework for fundamentalism. The volume makes significant contributions to understanding such key themes in southern history as race relations, religion, the Civil War, and violence."—Charles R. Wilson, Kelly Gene Cook, Sr. Chair in History and Professor of Southern Studies at the University of Mississippi

"Van Minnen and Berg have edited a fine collection of essays that cover various interactions between the southern US and Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries....The quality of the essays in anthologies is often uneven. However, all of these essays are crisply written, well-argued, supported through primary research, and cognizant of extant historiography."—Choice
