【摘要】：美国南方在美国历史发展过程中的重要性是不言而喻的。南方以它与众不同的区域特点吸引了大量学者为之展开学术探讨。在学者们看来，南方的独特性已使该地区蒙上了一层神秘的色彩。如果说南方是一个神话，那么重建后的南方一新南方一则具神秘性，因而也更值得探讨研究。在美国，有关南方的论著浩如烟海，关于新南方的著述也数不胜数：相比之下，我国学术界对南方问题的研究关注不多，对新南方的研究更是阙如。鉴此，本文在借鉴和吸收美国学者研究成果的基础上，尝试从客观的历史视角对“新南方”作一个较全面的考察，论证“新南方”是否确实替代了旧南方，使该地区呈现出一个崭新的面貌。具体说来，本文主要观点如下：1)“新南方”的出现是一种必然。随着最后一批联邦军队的撤离，南部的重建也适时地退出历史舞台。美国内战及其之后的重建所带来的变化是如此之快，以至于南方人来不及回顾过去：同样，战争的破坏是如此之大，，以至于南方人无法折回到过去，只能顺着历史的潮流进入新的南方。2)南方白人的种族观念顽固不化。尽管新南方发展迅速，工业化和城市化的步伐日益加快，但南方人“白人至上”观念依旧根深蒂固。在他们的意识深处，白人始终认为白人种族高人一等，他们企图永远维持对黑人居高临下的绝对控制，于是一个个限制黑人的成文或不成文的规定陆续出台，最终在19世纪末20世纪初形成一套被称作“Jim Crow”的种族歧视制度。3)“新南方”确实取得了一定的进步。在“新南方”倡导者的积极推动下，南方发生了一些令人鼓舞的变化。然而，在旧南方经济结构未被完全打破的情况下，新南方之路既曲折缓慢，又充满阻力。尽管重建后南方开始了工业化和现代化的进程，但它们并没有就此而销蚀或改变南方的地区特性。换言之，尽管在经济发展上南方设法借鉴北方模式，通过工业现代化实现南方的经济飞跃，但在社会结构和文化观念上仍尽一切可能保持南方的传统特性。从这个角度出发，新南方并不完全是“新”南方，新南方人依然保持了他们祖辈长期培育而成的南方特性。
[Abstract]:In the United States in the process of historical development of the importance of the south of the United States is self-evident. South to the regional characteristics of it out of the ordinary has attracted a lot of scholars for academic discussion. In the view of scholars, unique in the South has made the area covered with a layer of mystery. If the south side is a myth, then reconstruction after the south south of a mysterious, and thus more worthy of study. In the United States, the south of the multitude works and writings on the New South is beyond count: in contrast, China's academic research focus on the south is not much research on the New South is lack. In view of this, based on the learn and absorb the American scholars on the research results, try to make a comprehensive study from the historical perspective, the objective of the "New South" demonstration "New South" actually replaced the old South, make the Show a new look.
Specifically, the main points of this paper are as follows: 1) the "New South" is a kind of inevitable. With the last batch of federal troops to evacuate, reconstruction of the South also timely exit the stage of history. The changes brought about by the American Civil War and reconstruction after is so fast that the south is less than the past: the person comes similarly, the destruction of the war was so great that the south to break back to the past, can only follow the historical trend in the New South.2) Southern white race. Although the new stubborn the rapid development of industrialization and city increasingly accelerated pace, but the South "white supremacy" is still ingrained in their ideas. Deep consciousness, white has always believed that the white race they tried to maintain absolute control of a cut above others, to black down forever, so a limited black written or unwritten The provisions have been introduced, finally at the end of nineteenth Century early twentieth Century form a set called "Jim Crow" racial system.3) "New South" has achieved some progress. In "actively promote the New South" advocates, there have been some encouraging changes in the south. However, the economic structure is not in the old South. Completely break the situation, the New South Road is slow and tortuous, and full of resistance.
Although the reconstruction of the South began the process of industrialization and modernization, but they did not erode or change the characteristics of the region and the south. In other words, despite the economic development in the south to North from south, through the economic leap to achieve industrial modernization, but in the social structure and the culture characteristics of traditional still do everything possible keep the south. From this perspective, the south is not "new" New South South, still maintained the characteristics of Southern long-term cultivation of the ancestors.
