	C. Vann Woodward - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vann Woodward was born in Vanndale, a town named after his mother's aristocratic family, in Cross County, Arkansas.
		Woodward took graduate courses at Columbia University in 1931 where he met, and was influenced by, Langston Hughes and the Harlem Renaissance movement.
		Woodward taught at Johns Hopkins University from 1946 to 1961 and at Yale from 1961 to 1967.

	The Making of a Southerner and C. Vann Woodward (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Woodward made an excellent observation and that was that Lumpkin’s piece is a memoir on history rather than a history of a memoir: she explains four generations of her family’s evolvement and involvement in the war and economy.
		I, however, disagree with Woodward’s statement that Lumpkin’s theme is one of readjustment of a modern southerner: I feel that it is rather an adaptation of the modern southerner to a modern, adapted south (as the South itself had changed and adapted to circumstances).
		Woodward notices the gap in the novel from 1877 through 1900, the Redemption to the 20th century, but notes that this same gap is present in historiography and that Lumpkin is not at fault.

		Woodward argued that the South's political and economic leadership changed dramatically as planters declined and a nascent bourgeoisie (allied with northern capital) emerged, marking a sharp discontinuity.
		Woodward was highly critical of the so-called New South movement and its leaders, who in his view sold the South into colonial servitude.
		Woodward had written of "the burden of southern history" later in his career, arguing that the South's experiences with defeat and poverty gave southerners a special perspective on American history.

		Woodward came to the practice of History late and reluctantly, having been first attracted to literature as an undergraduate at Henderson College in Arkansas and also at Emory University where he transferred for his final two years.
		Not only is Woodward's version of the "Compromise of 1877" a fascinating story of intrigue at the highest level, but it introduces into the history of the post-Reconstruction South the theme of economic self-interest as a motivating force among the southern Redeemers, a radical departure from the conventional view of the time.
		Woodward pursued the theme of "paths not taken" with regard to race relations in the Richards Lectures in October 1954 at the University of Virginia.

	American historian C. Vann Woodward dies
		Woodward is perhaps best known for his work The Strange Career of Jim Crow, published in 1955, which did a good deal to debunk the myth that segregation was the inevitable consequence of Southern culture, and pointed instead to its roots in social and political relations.
		Woodward, some of whose ancestors had been slave-owners, was born in Vanndale, a small town in Arkansas named after his mother's family, in 1908.
		Woodward notes that in North Carolina in 1899, where the Populists were still in control of the state government, the decision by several in their ranks to cast their votes for fl disenfranchisement was met by deafening applause from a reactionary gallery.

		However, as Woodward, a native of Arkansas points out, the segregationist Jim Crow laws and policies were not fully a part of the culture until almost 1900.
		Woodward’s research indicates that many felt that a return to “separate but unequal” was becoming a viable possibility.
		Woodward began his book based on lectures that he gave at the University of Virginia in 1954, and was revised and updated during the 1970s.

	YAM April 2000 - A Life in History
		Woodward was already reputed to be the most distinguished historian of the South and one whose works had successfully challenged older versions of Southern history since Reconstruction.
		Woodward was actually the third major scholar of Southern history to have taught at Yale in the 20th century.
		It was typical of Woodward that in explaining the South both to itself and to the nation that he felt the explanation should have a larger purpose -- indeed, a moral purpose.

	Strange career - The Boston Globe - Boston.com - Ideas - News
		Fifty years ago, C. Vann Woodward wrote a slim volume that changed our understanding of the segregated South and became, in Martin Luther King Jr.'s words, 'the historical bible of the civil rights movement.' Not all historians, however, saw it that way.
		As Woodward had already showed in ''Origins of the New South," the end of Reconstruction in 1877 left the South in a state of political and economic flux--and no change was greater than the enfranchisement of freed slaves.
		Interestingly, many of Woodward's most strident academic critics came from the left, particularly those who, ironically, agreed with the previous generation of scholars in arguing that segregation was an endemic part of Southern folkways that long predated Jim Crow.

		Woodward emphasized that legally mandated racial segregation in the South was not a long-standing and inviolable tradition, as its apologists claimed.
		While Woodward’s optimism about a quick ending of segregation proved to be misplaced, his underlying message about the enduring effects of history in shaping the present proved to be poignantly accurate.
		As a son of the South, Woodward felt a keen sense of guilt for its violence and bigotry.

	Book Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Woodward’s view on segregation was one that not many people took before him and was one that after he made it led to people questioning what they had previously known or thought on the subject.
		Woodward looked back at these claims and said that the south wouldn’t have needed to be saved if it weren’t for the north in the first place.
		Woodward wrote, “The old heritage of slavery and the new and insecure heritage of legal equality were wholly incompatible.” This meant that although the African American population could now go to hotels and other societal position markers, they still could not afford to go even though now they were allowed to.

		Vann Woodward's The Strange Career of Jim Crow is not only a fine introduction to its topic -- the segregationist period in the South -- but one of the most significant and influential books of its time.
		Woodward's book cautions us against taking simplified views that the South was always racist, and the North was not, and he begins by describing various accounts of life in the South right after the Civil War.
		Woodward's book expresses the heartfelt belief that since segregation was a recent development, the possibility existed for the South to reject its separatist doctrine and eventually embrace integrationist principles.

		In Professor Woodward's best-selling 1955 book, "The Strange Career of Jim Crow," the historian documented that segregation dated only to the 1880s and hence, was not a centuries-old tradition too engrained in the culture to be changed, as some proponents of segregation contended.
		Comer Vann Woodward was born in 1908 in Vanndale, Arkansas, a town that was created by his ancestors, who were pre-Civil War slave owners.
		Woodward earned his master's degree in political science at Columbia University in 1932 and returned to the South to attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he received his Ph.D. in history in 1937.

		Indeed, Woodward relates three philosophies of race relations competing at the time - conservatism, radicalism, and liberalism.
		The bitter violence and blood-letting recriminations of the campaigns between white conservatives and white radicals in the 'nineties had opened wounds that could not be healed by ordinary political nostrums and free-silver slogans.
		Later editions of the book cover the profound accomplishments of the civil rights movement and the later rise of fl nationalism, which suggests for Woodward that African-Americans themselves must choose the extent and means of integration into white society.
