The Web of Southern Social Relations is a collection of essays presented at the "Symposium on the South: Education, Family, and Women," held at Georgia Southern College in 1984. A product of the new social history, the book focuses on personal relations within subgroups of southern society. The essays treat subcultures of blacks, whites, native Americans, males, females, planters, poor whites, bureaucracies, and institutions within the South. They are arranged roughly in chronological order, the entire timespan ranging from 1750 to 1935. Contributors to the book use various historical sources, including census records, legal documents, institutional records, contemporary testimonies and accounts, and private letters. Several of the authors combine qualitative and quantitative data, although they have spared readers detailed mathematical discussions and tables of correlation coefficients. Notes following each essay give references for more complete details and for further exploration of the topics introduced. The Web of Southern Social Relations leads into a myriad of topics that different readers will want to pursue in greater detail.
