| Description: |
This work recounts Carmer's arrival in Alabama in the late 1920s, his exploration of the state, its people, customs and racial violence. The scene described is one of Baptist foot-washings, lynchings and plantation mansions. |
| Synopsis: |
"Stars Fell on Alabama" is truly a classic.The book enjoyed enormous popularity and notoriety when it was first published (it was a selection of The Literary Guild and also sold widely in Europe). Itcan be described as a book of folkways not journalism, or history, or a novel.At times it is impressionistic; at other times it conveys deep insights into the character of Alabama.Carmer visited every region of the state, always accompanied by someone intimately familiar with the locality.The mosaic that emerges from the pages of his book portrays Alabama s human landscape in all its variety, and it is a work essential to an understanding of Alabama and its culture." |
