Just read an interesting book on a Jewish family living in the South in the 20s/30s: The Jew Store, written by Stella Suberman, who was the youngest member of her family. 'Jew Store' is/was a Southernism for a dry goods store run by a Jewish merchant. Stella's father moved them in 1920 to a town in western Tennessee which she calls Concordia (to conceal its real name and the names of some of the locals who acted ignorantly toward her family.) She writes about the local Kluxers, the child labor of the time, the race relations in a small town, and the reflexive anti-Semitism of the some of the townspeople. A good read -- book clubs have picked this one fairly regularly.
