  New Georgia Encyclopedia: Erskine Caldwell (1903-1987)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Caldwell's mastery of the short-story form, together with his outrage over social injustice and his great talent, enabled him to write such unforgettable pieces as "The Growing Season," which poignantly portrays a cotton farmer's travail, and "Candy-Man Beechum" and "Kneel to the Rising Sun," both burning condemnations of racism.
Caldwell made a good deal of money from his paperback publishers—at least $200,000 between 1945 and 1951 without writing a word—but his cooperation with them adversely affected his reputation within the literary establishment and helped ensure that his work would be neglected by scholars.
Caldwell's harsh criticism of social injustice in his native region brought forth equally sharp criticism by some white southerners who accused him of being a communist, a corrupter of morals, and a traitor to the South.
