This book features the dynamic and divergent heart of southern
culture. Southern folklife is the heart of southern culture.
Looking at traditional practices still carried on today as well as
at aspects of folklife that are dynamic and emergent, contributors
to this volume of ""The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture""
examine a broad range of folk traditions. Moving beyond the
traditional view of folklore that situates it in historical
practice and narrowly defined genres, entries in this volume
demonstrate how folklife remains a vital part of communities'
self-definitions. Fifty thematic entries address subjects such as
car culture, funerals, hip-hop, and powwows. In 56 topical entries,
contributors focus on more specific elements of folklife, such as
roadside memorials, collegiate stepping, quinceanera celebrations,
New Orleans marching bands, and hunting dogs. Together, the entries
demonstrate that southern folklife is dynamically alive and
everywhere around us, giving meaning to the everyday unfolding of
community life.
