Paternalism in a Southern City by Bobby J Donaldson
These essays focus on paternalism between masters and slaves, husbands and wives, elites and the masses, and industrialists and workers. The varied and creative responses to paternalism discussed here open new ways to view relationships based on power and negotiated between men and women, blacks and whites, and the prosperous and the poor.This collection of excellent essays deserves attention from anyone interested in the South's urban history
-- North Carolina Historical ReviewThe chapters are an interesting mix of topics from which the underlying theme of paternalism emerges. The collection provides a remarkable view of nineteenth-century Augusta.
-- Journal of Southern HistoryThe essays' chronological sweep is broad and ranges from insights into Augusta's colonial history to reflections on the present. . . . Overall, this is an impressive collection of essays.
-- Journal of American HistoryA fine and coherent book.
-- History: Review of New BooksBy treating paternalism in an urban setting, the book illustrates how cities, such as Augusta, were often as steeped in paternalism as plantation society. Paternalism in a Southern City thus constitutes a new approach to an old idea.
-- Southern HistorianEditors Cashin and Eskew deserve praise for putting together a fine book, equipped with well-documented essays and a lengthy bibliography.
