Creating a sort of periodic table of the southern populace, Southern Folk, Plain and Fancy catalogs and describes the several social types—gentleman and lady, "lord of the lash" and cunning belle, fun-loving "good old boy," depraved redneck, and other figures—that have animated the region since antebellum times.

Sociologi och antropologi inom Samhalle och politik

Drawing on television, film, and country music, Reed creates a typology of white southerners that includes the hero, the villain, the fool, and the victim. In doing so, he provides a strong argument for the roles of the media, labeling theory, and intergroup relations in the creation and maintenance of stereotypes . . . Reed's book is highly readable and entertaining, but with sociological substance as well.
