By the Book: Home Front Battles with Charles C. Bolton

Join us for a conversation with historian Charles C. Bolton. His new book, Home Front Battles, explores the role of race in World War II mobilization in the Deep South, where the needs of wartime industries and bases inflamed tensions around labor, land, and military service.

He is the author of many books on Southern history, including Poor Whites of the Antebellum South, The Hardest Deal of All: The Battle over School Integration in Mississippi, 1870-1980, and William F.
