Deep South: A Social Anthropological Study of Caste and Class

First published in 1941, Deep South is the cooperative effort of a team of social anthropologists to document the economic, racial, and cultural character of the Jim Crow South through a study of a representative rural Mississippi community. Researchers Allison Davis, Burleigh B. Gardner, and Mary R. Gardner lived among the people of Natchez, Mississippi, as they investigated how class and caste informed daily life in a typical southern community. This Southern Classics edition of their study offers contemporary students of history a provocative collection of primary material gathered by conscientious and well-trained participant-observers, who found then-as now-intertwined social and economic inequalities at the root of racial tensions.

History

University of Chicago Press

This volume is the report of one of several studies which were conducted concurrently but in different sections of the United States. All of these investigations were the outgrowth of the American Youth Commission's desire to see wherein Negro youth faced distinctive problems in their development as individual personalities. By looking steadily and long at the life experiences of eight selected Negro adolescents and many others whose cases are on file but here fully reported, the authors of the present volume have followed their original assignment of revealing what it means to be born a Negro. In doing so they have also contributed significantly to our knowledge of the socializing process itself.

Fueled by passion, a love of the coast and an abundance of time thanks to the global pandemic of 2020, photographer & writer Allison Davis pursued beauty to create this curated coastal journey. With a car, a camera, and a dream, she set off with the goal of capturing all that she could—amidst COVID-19, amidst isolation and quarantine mandates, and amidst the western wildfires raging up and down the coast. In fact, one of the most remarkable aspects of Allison Davis’ collection is that her images share the authenticity of the month-long journey—everything from the jagged coastline edges to the misty layer of smoke from the dying fires. Her landscapes capture the grandeur and wonder of the coast with honesty despite imperfect conditions. It’s a pure, creative, heartfelt search for beauty. You’re invited to join this illuminated & resilient journey, through her passion poured into pages of carefully-captured images paired intentionally with personal essays from the road.
