Boll Weevil Blues: Cotton, Myth, and Power in the American South
Giesen, James C. (James C. Giesen, Mississippi State University)
Between the 1890s and the early 1920s, the boll weevil slowly ate its way across the Cotton South from Texas to the Atlantic Ocean. This title demonstrates that it was the very idea of the boll weevil and the struggle over its meanings that most profoundly changed the South - as different groups, from policymakers to blues singers.
