Much of the violence that has been associated with the United
States has had particular salience for the South, from its high
homicide rates, or its bloody history of racial conflict, to
southerners' popular attachment to guns and traditional support for
capital punishment. With over 95 entries, this volume of The New
Encyclopedia of Southern Culture explores the most significant
forms and many of the most harrowing incidences of violence that
have plagued southern society over the past 300 years. Following a
detailed overview by editor Amy Wood, the volume explores a wide
range of topics, such as violence against and among American
Indians, labor violence, arson, violence and memory, suicide, and
anti-abortion violence. Taken together, these entries broaden our
understanding of what has driven southerners of various classes and
various ethnicities to commit acts of violence, while addressing
the ways in which southerners have conceptualized that violence,
responded to it, or resisted it. This volume enriches our
understanding of the culture of violence and its impact on ideas
about law and crime, about historical tradition and social change,
and about race and gender--not only in the South but in the nation
as a whole. |With over 95 entries, this volume of The New
Encyclopedia of Southern Culture explores the most significant
forms and many of the most harrowing incidences of violence that
have plagued southern society over the past 300 years.
