How do southerners feel about the ways in which the rest of the
country regards them? In this volume, twelve observers of the
modern South discuss its persistent image as a people and place at
odds with mainstream American ideals and values. Ranging from the
South's climate to its religious fundamentalism to its great
outpouring of fiction and autobiography, the contributors show how
and why our perceptions of the region have been continually
refashioned by national/southern tensions, trends, and events. At
the same time, they show that although the nation has sought, time
and again, to change the region, America also has used the South to
expose and modify some of its own darker impulses. As editors Larry
J. Griffin and Don H. Doyle point out, no single approach could
clarify the complexities underlying this persistent notion of a
""Problem South."" Representing a diversity of backgrounds and
interests, the writings in this volume are the products of strong
and independent minds that cut across disciplines, disagree among
themselves, blend contemporary and historical insights, and
confront conventional wisdom and expedient generalities. Filled
with fresh insights into the dynamics of the region's long-troubled
relationship with the rest of the nation, this volume allows us all
to view the current state and future course of the South, as well
as its link to the broader culture and polity, in a new light.
