This rich collection of original essays illuminates the causes and
consequences of the South's defining experiences with death.
Employing a wide range of perspectives, while concentrating on
discrete episodes in the region's past, the authors explore topics
from the seventeenth century to the present, from the death traps
that emerged during colonization to the bloody backlash against
emancipation and civil rights to recent canny efforts to
commemorate - and capitalize on - the region's deadly past. Some
authors capture their subjects in the most intimate of moments:
killing and dying, grieving and remembering, and believing and
despairing. Others uncover the intentional efforts of Southerners
to publicly commemorate their losses through death rituals and
memorialization campaigns. Together, these poignantly told Southern
stories reveal profound truths about the past of a region marked by
death and unable, perhaps unwilling, to escape the ghosts of its
history.
