Caste and Class in a Southern Town

An extraordinary powerful exposition of social patterns in a small town, Caste and Class in a Southern Town has become a benchmark in social science methodology and a classic in American studies. Now fifty years after its original publication, John Dollards most famous work offers timeless insights and remains essential to those interested in race-related social issues. In 1937, W. E. B. Du Bois observed, "Dr. Dollards study is one of the most interesting and penetrating that has been made concerning the South and is marked by courage and real insight. . . . Dr. Dollards book marks a distinct advance in the study of the Southern scene."
