Genovese (1994) predate Brinkley's article. Genovese (1932-2012) a historian of the American South and American slavery, was best known for ''Roll, Jordan, Roll: The World the Slaves Made'' (1974), which won the Bancroft Prize in 1975. Originally a Marxist who applied Antonio Gramsci's theory of cultural hegemony to slavery, Genovese became a conservative while researching 'The Southern Tradition: The Achievement and Limitations of an American Conservatism' (1994), included in this bibliography. In ''The Southern Tradition,'' Genovese examines the Southern agrarians who he came to admire. Per Wikipedia on August 1, 2017, "The Southern Agrarians, [Genovese] noted, also posed a challenge to modern American conservatives who have a mistaken belief in market capitalism's compatibility with traditional social values and family structures. Genovese agreed with the Agrarians in concluding that capitalism destroyed those institutions."
Himmelstein (1992) and Schoenwald (2001) are both histories of mid to late 20th-century American conservatism. Farmer (2005) takes this back to the Puritans.
