"The best sort of introductory study . . . packed with enlightening information." —The Times Literary SupplementPoor whites have been isolated from mainstream white Southern culture and have been in turn stereotyped as rednecks and Holy Rollers, discriminated against, and misunderstood. In their isolation, they have developed a unique subculture and defended it with a tenacity and pride that puzzles and confuses the larger society. Written 25 years ago, this book was one scholar's attempt to understand these people and their culture. For this new edition, Wayne Flynt has provided a new retrospective introduction and an up-to-date bibliography.

"Wayne Flynt may not have started the late—twentieth—century wave of historical research on postbellum Southern poor whites, but he was the first to catch it. In engaging and accessible prose Dixie's Forgotten People surveyed what was in 1979 a largely unknown landscape and laid out an agenda for research that is still not completed. Flynt's retrospective introduction to this new edition is itself worth the price of the book."—John Reed, University of North Carolina
