What does "redneck" mean? What's going to happen to the southern
accent? What makes black southerners laugh? What is "real" country
music? These are the kinds of questions that pop up in this
collection of notable essays from "Southern Cultures," the journal
of the Center for the Study of the American South at the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Intentionally plural, "Southern
Cultures" was founded in 1993 to present all sides of the American
South, from sorority sisters to Pocahontas, from kudzu to the
blues.
This volume collects 27 essays from the journal's first fifteen
years, bringing together some of the most memorable and engaging
essays as well as some of those most requested for use in courses.
A stellar cast of contributors discusses themes of identity, pride,
traditions, changes, conflicts, and stereotypes. Topics range from
black migrants in Chicago to Mexican immigrants in North Carolina,
from Tennessee wrestlers to Martin Luther King, from the Civil War
to contemporary debates about the Confederate flag. Funny and
serious, historical and contemporary, the collection offers
something new for every South-watcher, with fresh perspectives on
enduring debates about the people and cultures of America's most
complex region.
