Now Available In Black and White An Interpretation of the South Lily Hardy Hammond Edited by Elna C. Green "Lily Hammond's In Black and White has been the starting point for historians working on race and gender in the South, but Hammond herself has remained a mystery . . . until now. Green recaptures the lost context of social welfare and interracial work that animated Hammond's book and gives us a sensitive account of her life. Finally, Hammond gets her due, and students can discover the complex world of women's interracial activism that the triumph of white supremacy in the early twentieth century erased." -Glenda Gilmore, Peter V. and C. Vann Woodward Professor of History, Yale University, and author of Defying Dixie: The Radical Roots of Civil Rights, 1919-1950 $44.95 hardcover ISBN 978-0-8203-2884-3 $22.95 paperback ISBN 978-0-8203-3062-4		Also Available Mary Telfair to Mary Few Selected Letters, 1802-1844 Edited by Betty Wood "This collection's richness lies in the unparalleled length of its view. Mary Telfair's letters to her close friend show how the interests and activities of one privileged woman changed and evolved over time, as religion and family responsibilities loomed much larger." -Jane Turner Censer, author of The Reconstruction of White Southern Womanhood, 1865-1895 $44.95 hardcover ISBN 978-0-8203-2920-8
