Masters of Small Worlds Reviews

...of interest not only for the local matter of South Carolina, but as one test whether 'race, class, and gender' can (to adapt Marx on the Confederacy) make a history and not just a battle-cry. McCurry offers an abunbance of insight, information and anecdote. She is a gifted historian, engaging large questions. * The Times Literary Supplement *
a work with unusual breadth of analysis ... in its sheer breadth of visiona nd attention to detail her analysis includes much that is fresh and original ... This, combined with a persuasively lucid and thoughtful written style, make this work a pleasure to read. * Kevern J. Verney, Edge Hill College of Higher Education, American Studies, Vol 30, Part 2 - 1996 *
