Bøger i Histories of Arkansas serien

This second edition of Arkansas in Modern America since 1930 represents a significant rewriting of and elaboration on the first edition. Ben Johnson fills in gaps, reconsiders his original conclusions, and reflects on new developments, extending the book's analysis of the political, economic, social, and cultural positions into 2018.

Explores the lost industrial world - a world of steel mills, fire-strewn rivers, and working-class lives, in which place and family stand as metaphors for each other. This book contains poems that reach back to the late nineteenth century in a mixture of elegy and chronicle, genealogy and history, reclaiming the past and its witnesses.
