Wilbur Joseph Cash was born in South Carolina in 1900. He spent many years as a journalist and then associate editor at The Charlotte News. His writing was so eerily predictive that Cash earned the nickname Zarathustra. He died in Mexico in 1941 under mysterious circumstances, likely the target of Nazi spies. His work enjoyed great popularity during the Civil Rights Movement and it remains to this day required reading for anyone who is serious about learning the social history of the South.
"No one, among the multitudes who have written about the South, has
been more penetrating or more persuasive than Mr. Cash." -- The New
York Times
"Wyatt-Brown's introduction is the sanest overview of The Mind of
the South I've yet encountered. It points up the specific and real
worth of this remarkable book." -- Louis D. Rubin, Jr.
"Sometimes insightful, sometimes infuriating, The Mind of the South
is mandatory reading for anyone who would understand the region.
Wyatt-Brown's brilliant introduction reveals the relevance of Cash
and his book to our own times."
-- Charles Joyner, Burroughs Distinguished Professor of Southern
History and Culture, University of South Carolina
