Research Interests:
- Specializes in African American History in the Jim Crow South and oral history. His first book, The Rural Face of White Supremacy: Beyond Jim Crow, (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2005) was designated an Editor's Choice by the Atlantic Monthly. It explored the daily experience of race relations in middle Georgia from 1900 to 1950, and highlighted the ways that interracial intimacy was an essential component of hierarchy in the Jim Crow South.
- With grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Lowell Stahl Center, Adrienne Petty and Schultz are currently co-authoring a study entitled Breaking New Ground: Black Farm Owners from the Civil War to the Present, forthcoming, University of North Carolina Press. This will be the first full history of black farm owners in the U.S. To gather information, Petty and Schultz directed two dozen Fellows in collecting about 300 oral interviews with black farm owners and their descendants in every southern state. In addition, Schultz is writing a history of the racial politics of education in Middle Georgia through the Jim Crow Era.
- Authored dozens of articles and papers on interracial kinship, black farm ownership, oral history, and the politics of rural black education. He has also been interviewed on NPR's "The State of Things," about race relations in the rural Jim Crow South and acted as a specialist on NBC's "Who Do You Think You Are?" to guide Spike Lee and Alfre Woodard through documents about their landowning ancestors in late nineteenth century Georgia.
