Taking a wide focus, Southern Journey narrates the evolution of
southern history from the founding of the nation to the present day
by focusing on the settling, unsettling, and resettling of the
South. Using migration as the dominant theme of southern history
and including indigenous, white, black, and immigrant people in the
story, Edward L. Ayers cuts across the usual geographic, thematic,
and chronological boundaries that subdivide southern history. Ayers
explains the major contours and events of the southern past from a
fresh perspective, weaving geography with history in innovative
ways. He uses unique color maps created with sophisticated
geographic information system (GIS) tools to interpret massive data
sets from a humanistic perspective, providing a view of movement
within the South with a clarity, detail, and continuity we have not
seen before. The South has never stood still; it is - and always
has been - changing in deep, radical, sometimes contradictory ways,
often in divergent directions. Ayers's history of migration in the
South is a broad yet deep reinterpretation of the region's past
that informs our understanding of the population, economy,
politics, and culture of the South today. Southern Journey is not
only a pioneering work of history; it is a grand recasting of the
South's past by one of its most renowned and appreciated scholars.
