Paul Vanderwood is a former journalist who covered civil rights events in the mid-South for Scripps-Howard Newspapers during the 1950s and 1960s. Since entering academia, his research and writing have mainly concerned the myriad ways in which rural people respond to the social process labeled "modernization"; hence, his studies of night riding, banditry, police, and millenarianism. He is currently professor of Mexican history at San Diego State University.
