Title: THE FORGOTTEN SOUTHERNERS: THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN BLACKS AND POOR WHITES DURING RECONSTRUCTION.
Creator: SIDDALL, YVONNE ROBENA., Florida Atlantic University, Curl, Donald W.
Abstract/Description: This was written as a beginning study of the relationships between blacks and poor whites during Reconstruction. The heritage of slavery is discussed as a prerequisite for understanding later developments. A brief synopsis of Reconstruction is included. The last chapters concern the actual relations between blacks and poor whites. Reasons for the inability of these two groups to ally and cooperate lie in the low opinion each had for the other and the inability of poor whites to allow the...
Show moreThis was written as a beginning study of the relationships between blacks and poor whites during Reconstruction. The heritage of slavery is discussed as a prerequisite for understanding later developments. A brief synopsis of Reconstruction is included. The last chapters concern the actual relations between blacks and poor whites. Reasons for the inability of these two groups to ally and cooperate lie in the low opinion each had for the other and the inability of poor whites to allow the Negro a measure of equality. For the poor white the Negro was too much a threat as an equal. As a result violence, intimidation and suppression were practiced by poor whites against blacks and their white Republican allies, until the South was finally redeemed by white Democrats and southern demagogues.

Title: Split-level realignment: Working and middle social class voting behavior in the South and non-South.
Creator: Howard, Wayne B., Florida Atlantic University, Pritchard, Anita, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of Political Science
Abstract/Description: Analyzing changes in the political party system has been approached in numerous forms. This paper examines change in state level party strength and political behavior at the individual level. By analyzing state level partisan balance shifts between 1952-1988, states cluster into groups based on their aggregate electoral partisan strength. Utilizing the methodology of Earl and Merle Black (1987) and by compiling data from the University of Michigan's Survey Research Center-Center for Political...

This paper examines change in state level party strength and political behavior at the individual level. By analyzing state level partisan balance shifts between 1952-1988, states cluster into groups based on their aggregate electoral partisan strength. Utilizing the methodology of Earl and Merle Black (1987) and by compiling data from the University of Michigan's Survey Research Center-Center for Political Studies (SRC-CPS), political attitudes of socio-economic groups are compared between states which show trends of Republicanism versus those favoring a Democratic party trend. These comparisons shed light on current realignment theory, the dismantling of the New Deal coalition, and the forming of new coalitions.

Title: Deep-fried harmony: the impact of pro-Judaic rhetoric in fostering Protestant-Jewish amity in the ante-bellum South.
Creator: Lebowitz, Scott H., Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of History
Abstract/Description: Scholars of southern Jewish history maintain that ante-bellum southerners displayed genuine philo-Semitism towards their Jewish neighbors. Historians attribute this to the southern Jews "effort to assimilate into southern society and to the presence of other, more preferred, targets of the southerners" animus, namely blacks and Catholics. This analysis, however, is not sufficiently broad to explain the South's Protestant-Jewish dynamic. It neither appraises the relationship from the...
Show moreScholars of southern Jewish history maintain that ante-bellum southerners displayed genuine philo-Semitism towards their Jewish neighbors. Historians attribute this to the southern Jews "effort to assimilate into southern society and to the presence of other, more preferred, targets of the southerners" animus, namely blacks and Catholics. This analysis, however, is not sufficiently broad to explain the South's Protestant-Jewish dynamic. It neither appraises the relationship from the perspective of the Protestants, nor accounts for the intellectual inconsistencies such a conclusion presents regarding both Protestants and southerners, generally. This thesis identifies and responds to these shortcomings by examining southern philo-Semitism through the eyes of the Protestants and thesis argues that pro-Judaic rhetoric of southern evangelical clergy inundated southerners with favorable references and images of the biblical Jews, causing southerners to develop a high degree of reverence and respect for Jews, whom they saw as their spiritual kinfolk.

Names, places, occurrences, and characters are either a product of the authors imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, business establishments, events, or locales is entirely coincidental.

Show moreAll the Place You’ve Got is a collection of short stories inspired by and set in the author’s hometown of Warner Robins; Georgia. This is a work of fiction. Names, places, occurrences, and characters are either a product of the authors imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, business establishments, events, or locales is entirely coincidental. The title is a partial quote of dialogue stated by Hazel Motes, the protagonist of Flannery O’Connor’s first novel Wise Blood. The full quote reads, “In yourself right now is all the place you’ve got.” This collection of stories was built as a direct antithetical response to O’Connor’s representation of dialogic salvation and visions of the divine, a central concern, stemming from dedicated Catholic belief, of her body of work.

Title: TOTEMIC AND SOCIAL STRUCTURES AS REFLECTED BY WEEDEN ISLAND MORTUARY POTTERY.
Creator: ROBERTS, KATHLEEN ANNE., Florida Atlantic University, Sears, William H., Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of Anthropology
Abstract/Description: If totemic symbols are represented stylistically or realistically in the arts, is it possible that archaeological evidence could be found to indicate that Weeden Island and Kolomoki effigy figurines and designs could be totemic? The sociopolitical and religious systems of certain historic tribes, the Creeks, Choctaw, Chickasaw and Natchez provide a view of basic cultural trends in the Post-contact Southeastern United States.

The sociopolitical and religious systems of certain historic tribes, the Creeks, Choctaw, Chickasaw and Natchez provide a view of basic cultural trends in the Post-contact Southeastern United States. The hypothesis, drawing from the fact totemic systems did to some extent exist among these tribes, attempts to establish stylistic patterns in effigy figurines and relate them to what is known of social and religious systems in the Northwest Florida-Southwest Georgia area. Such patterns were established, and some groups of effigies do tend to cluster in certain areas, but definite totemic sociopolitical associations have yet to be proved.

Title: THE STATUS OF EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES IN THE SECONDARY SCHOOL: FOCUS ON THEIR MANAGEMENT IN THE PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS OF THE SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS.

Show moreThis study is a descriptive analysis of a population of public secondary school administrators in the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The Southern Association is composed of eleven states in the southeast region of the United States and presently consists of 2,939 schools. The purpose of the study was to reveal practices which school administrators may follow to improve the management of extracurricular activities in the schools which they administer. The author determined the present status of activities in the schools of The Southern Association with regard to 25 validated principles of management gleaned from the literature. The information collected in 1944 by J. Lloyd Trump in a similar study of the North Central Association was updated and the two studies were compared to determine the differences in the data of 1944 and 1975. The instrument was returned by the administrators in 334 schools in the Southern Association. Practices revealed in the study were evaluated in relation to the 25 principles of management and compared to the data given in the report of 1944. The following conclusions are stated: 1. There is not as much need for precise definition of the place and function of extracurricular activities as there was 30 years ago but some need remains. The place and the function of activities is well defined and accepted in most schools . 2. There is still a need for increased concern over the management of the extracurricular program. The management of finances shows the greatest improvement. Some gain is shown in other areas as well. 3. There is continuing need for frequent evaluation and follow-up in the entire extracurricular program. There has been significant improvement in this area but much more needs to be done. The management of extracurricular activities continues to be a major concern of the public high schools of today. Increased understanding of successful strategies in management will enable administrators to improve the effectiveness of the extracurricular activities program.

Title: The Legitimacy of Cookbooks as Rhetoric of Southern Culture.
Creator: Carrico-Rausch, Cynthia, Trapani, William, Florida Atlantic University, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, School of Communication and Multimedia Studies
Abstract/Description: Community cookbooks operate through a rhetoric of place as ways of thinking about belonging and influencing communal identities. They reveal much about a community, including the sharing of memories and tradition, geographical identification, and representation of socio-cultural hierarchies and habits. For that reason, this paper advances the claim that the discourse and visuality in community cookbooks, specifically the cookbooks 200 Years of Charleston Cooking, Charleston Receipts, and...
Show moreCommunity cookbooks operate through a rhetoric of place as ways of thinking about belonging and influencing communal identities. They reveal much about a community, including the sharing of memories and tradition, geographical identification, and representation of socio-cultural hierarchies and habits. For that reason, this paper advances the claim that the discourse and visuality in community cookbooks, specifically the cookbooks 200 Years of Charleston Cooking, Charleston Receipts, and Charleston Receipts Repeats published during the height of a renaissance in Southern literature, influenced the identity of “Southerness” which, taken in conjunction with place, space, and time has resulted in a unification of the changing American South. Using Carolyn Miller’s notions of genre criticism on the basis of genres as social movements, community cookbooks qualify for the genre label of domestic literature in terms of content and rhetorical influence. To prove my claim, the use of images, recipes, and folklore within the pages are analyzed with five a posteriori themes that discuss relations between a sense of place and its foodways.

Show moreClassifying any body of literature is a difficult process, and for United States southern literature, the difficulty of classification and the resounding implications are amplified because of the difficulty in defining what "southern" is. On-going critical discussion of the South has explored these issues, thus far, scholarly discourse on southern literature and the problems of classification has been limited to the realm of the theoretical. The primary focus of this study, however, is to consider practical implications of this problem by evaluating the way subject headings implemented by the Library of Congress not only classify, but also influence and shape southern literature. Considering how southern literature is defined by these subject headings may prove to be a useful tool, aiding the in the current reevaluation of the South and its literature, and shedding light on how constructed borders affect users, as well as the literature itself.

It seems highly probable that this ceremonial material formed the ritual paraphernalia of the controlling dignitaries within a Cult organization which functioned as a state religion in widely separated cultural areas. Although dependent upon an agricultural base and, consequently, related to fertility ceremonies, the Complex was mainly oriented towards offensive warfare and expansion through conquest.

Title: AN INVESTIGATION OF ETHNOGRAPHIC AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL POLITICAL STRUCTURE IN SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES.

Using the historic Indian cultures of the Natchez of Mississippi and the Timucua of northeast Florida as examples of such nascent states, archaeological implications are drawn from them.

Show moreIf the state is that complex of institutions which integrates a culture on a non-kinship basis so as to maintain some order of class stratification, can prehistoric examples of the state, particularly in its nascent stages, be archaeologically demonstrated? Using the historic Indian cultures of the Natchez of Mississippi and the Timucua of northeast Florida as examples of such nascent states, archaeological implications are drawn from them. The hypothesis that prehistoric cultures with ceremonial centers at the Etowah and Kolomoki sites; both in Georgia, were also examples of nascent states is then tested against these implications, and found to meet them. It is very probable, then, that Etowah and Kolomoki were prehistoric states, and desirable that the attempt be made to further elucidate their particulars.
