Southern Exposrue (Florida Sand Dollar Book)

Stetson Kennedy © 1946

Using thorough and stark statistics, Kennedy describes a South emerging from World War II, coming to grips with the racism and feudalism that had held it back for generations. He includes an all-out Who’s Who, based on his own undercover investigations, of the "hate-mongers, race-racketeers, and terrorists who swore that apartheid must go on forever." The first paperback edition brings to a new generation of readers Kennedy’s searing profile of Dixie before the civil rights movement.

Reviews
"A strong weapon against intolerance" -Ellis Carnally, Governor of Georgia

"At the birth of our magazine in 1973... Southern Exposure emerged as the obvious choice (for a name)... to carry on the tradition of Stetson Kennedy's original Southern Exposure... a tradition that links analysis to action, that tells the truth and makes clear the imperative for change. We chose the right person to follow. He is a freedom fighter, patriot and rebel, investigator and truth-teller, a foot soldier and leader in the larger movement for a more human planet.'' -Bob Hall, editor, Southern Exposure

"Must reading for all who wish to understand the revolution that impends in the south"
-The Nation

"A filing case bursting with documented evidence against almost every phase of southern life."
-Boston Chronicle (1946)

"As Uncle Tom's Cabin became one of the greatest single forces in the eventual overthrow of slavery, so can Southern Exposure Play a major role in freeing the country of segregation."
- Boston Chronicle (1946)
