In this new SHA virtual program, we will bring members together to consider classic texts in Southern History. A panel of experts will discuss the content, context, and meaning of the text, both in the time of its publication and in our own time, and then open to the audience to further explore this canonical work together.
H-Slavery has been a leading online forum for the academic study of slavery since its founding in 1995. H-Slavery serves as a focal point for informed, moderated discussion and produces diverse academic content including book reviews, blog posts, topical guides, and more. H-Slavery depends on an all-volunteer academic staff composed of scholars of all ranks. Scholars of all disciplinary, methodological, and topical backgrounds are welcome to set up a free subscription and to inquire about serving as an editor with H-Slavery. We also encourage you to write us at editorial-slavery@h-net.msu.edu. If you wish to join us as an H-Slavery "member," that is, have access to post discussions, resources, links and be allowed to write posts yourself, or reply to posts (both via the "Submit to the Editor" form), you need to fill out your Profile. We are especially interested in your Biography, Institutional Affiliation, and Interests. And you need to have your "contact button" active. If you don't have the requested data in your Profile, you will receive a message from us in this regard. We would also appreciate a few words as "request message." To fill out your Profile, click on the Person icon in the top right corner of the page and select ‘Profile’ from under the Manage heading. If you need any help, feel free to contact the help desk by emailing help@mail.h-net.org. If you only wish to receive email notifications, you may apply for the "subscriber" category. Thank you for reading and joining us!

Dear all,
Here you have an interesting review of a book about the relationship between the violence elite businessmen used, starting with the Klansmen and the Reconstruction period, and the "narrative-creators," the journalists who helped legitimize this violence for the public.
Best wishes,
Sorina Georgescu
Network Editor
