In Creating the Modern South , Douglas Flamming examines one hundred years in the life of the mill and the town of Dalton, Georgia, providing a uniquely perceptive view of Dixie's social and economic transformation.
Beautifully written, it combines the rich specificity of a case study with broadly applicable synthetic conclusions.-- Technology and Culture
A detailed and nuanced study of community development. . . . Creating the Modern South is an important book and will be of interest to anyone in the field of labor history.-- Journal of Economic History
A rich and provocative study. . . . Its major contribution to our knowledge of the South is its careful account of the evolution and collapse of mill culture.-- Journal of Southern History
Ambitious, and at times provocative, Creating the Modern South is a well-researched, highly readable, and engaging book.-- Journal of American History
