'Standing at the Crossroads' should make compelling reading for natives and outlanders alike\"--Jacquelyn Hall, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill \"Pete Daniel illuminates, with marvelous precision, the economic, social, and cultural contours of life in the modern South. Skillfully interweaving insights on rock and country music with discussions of rural farm life, racial confrontation, and the emergence of the Sun Belt, Daniel helps us come to grips with what has been lost--and gained--through the South's road to modernization.\"--William H.
