Georgia odyssey
by Cobb, James C.
- 2 Want to read
Georgia Odyssey is a panoramic survey of Georgia history, from British colony to international business mecca, from Jim Crow to Jimmy Carter, from Gone with the Wind to the 1990s.
Originally published as part of The New Georgia Guide, this expanded version of Georgia Odyssey is an essential text for students and scholars. Historian James C. Cobb, a Georgia native, debunks familiar myths and reveals new insights in his interpretation of the state's complex past.
Not all of the past is pleasant to recall, Cobb notes, but any attempt to understand the character and personality of contemporary Georgia must take into account its sometimes disturbing, sometimes appealing, but always rich and eventful historical odyssey.

Work Description
"Georgia Odyssey is a lively survey of the state's history, from its beginnings as a European colony to its current standing as an international business mecca, from the self-imposed isolation of its Jim Crow era to its role as host of the Bicentennial Olympic Games and beyond, from its long reign as the linchpin state of the Democratic Solid South to its current dominance by the Republican Party. This new edition incorporates current trends that have placed Georgia among the country's most dynamic and attractive states, fueled the growth of its Hispanic and Asian American populations, and otherwise dramatically altered its demographic, economic, social, and cultural appearance and persona."--BOOK JACKET.
