| Description: |
Interviews conducted by Mark Schultz between 1988 and 2001 in and around Hancock County, Ga., about the primary ways that white and black lives actually intersected there in the years between 1910 and 1950. Interviewees include black and white landowners, tenants, lumber workers, tradesmen, soldiers, teachers, and preachers; men and women; and migrants to northern cities and lifelong residents of the county. These interviews form the basis for Schultz's Ph.D. dissertation, Unsolid South: An Oral History of Race, Class, and Geography in Hancock County, Georgia, 1910-1950, submitted to the faculty of the Division of the Social Sciences, Department of History, University of Chicago, 1999, and for a forthcoming book. |
