Class, Race, and the US South features original contributions from the most prominent contemporary historical-materialist social scientists and historians, writing on the united theme that class, race, and the South are the most important mainsprings of American society.

Class, Race, and the US South, a Festschrift for labour militant and political scientist Michael Goldfield, features original contributions from the most prominent contemporary historical-materialist social scientists and historians. The collection’s uniting theme is that class, race, and the South are the most important mainsprings of American society. Combining labour history, southern history, and theoretical critiques of mainstream conceptualisations of racism, this work emphasises the working class as the primary driver of both reactionary and potentially revolutionary change.

His published work focuses primarily on the intersection of race and class in American public opinion and political behaviour. Olivier Maheo, Ph.D., is an associate member of the Institut d’histoire du temps présent, University of Paris 8 / CNRS, France. He conducts research on the uses of the past and counter-narratives of race, focusing on African-American history. Esther Cyna, Ph.D., is an associate professor of US history and society at the University of Versailles, Paris-Saclay, France. Her research examines racism in school finance in the US South from the nineteenth century to today.
