===Deep South=== Her study of [[Indianola, Mississippi|Indianola]], Mississippi, published as ''After Freedom'', was one of the first studies of modern American culture by an anthropologist, as well as one of the first academic studies of an interracial community. This study was conducted from 1932 to 1934 and is of particular importance for her having successfully completed participant observation in both white and Black populations, despite the danger involved. This study was the source of her groundbreaking theory focusing on the psychological adaptation undergone by Blacks and whites due to their interracial environment.<ref>Gacs, Ute, Aisha Khan, Jerrie McIntyre, Ruth Weinburg ed.
