 Subversive Southerner Summary
Anne McCarty Braden is a southern white woman who in the 1940s broke from her segregationist and privileged past and became a lifelong crusader who sought to awaken the consciences of white southerners to the reality of racial injustice.
Branded a communist and seditionist by southern politicians who used McCarthyism to prop up segregation as it crumbled, Braden nevertheless became a role model to students who launched the 1960s sit-ins, and to successive generations of peace and justice activists.
Braden’s story connects southern reform drives of the 1930s and 1940s to the mass civil rights movement of the 1960s and to the continuation of racial justice campaigns today.

 Ge Hong [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
In 283 CE, Ge Hong was born into a southern magnate family whose native place was the Jurong district in Danyang prefecture, which was near Nanjing, in the southwest corner of present day Jiangsu province.
To escape from the turmoil that was embroiling the rest of China, he finally accepted a position as a military councilor under his friend who was appointed to be the governor of Guangzhou (Canton), a port city in the far south.
With the establishment of the Eastern Jin dynasty in southern China in 317, the transplanted throne was eager to gain the allegiance of powerful southern gentry families; thus, men such as Ge Hong were showered with official appointments, which were usually more honorary than substantive in nature.

Jean Renoir, son of the painter and already, at 27, the acknowledged patriarch of the French dramatic film, arrived in the United States in February of 1941, a refugee from the tragedy of France's fall.
The plot of The Southerner is wholesome, ultra-sincere slice-of-Americana material that celebrates the strong back of the lower class worker, who earns what he toils for and is satisfied.
His Hollywood films—Swamp Water (1941), This Land Is Mine (1943), The Southerner (1945), Diary of a Chambermaid (1947), and Woman on the Beach (1947)—are generally ranked among his least successful works, with the one exception being The Southerner.
