The work of considering, imagining, and theorizing the U.S. South
in regional, national, and global contexts is an intellectual
project that has been going on for some time. Scholars in history,
literature, and other disciplines have developed an ad vanced
understanding of the historical, social, and cultural forces that
have helped to shape the U.S. South. However, most of the debates
on these subjects have taken place within specific academic
disciplines, with few attempts to cross-engage. Navigating Souths
broadens these exchanges by facilitating transdisciplinary
conversations about southern studies scholarship. The fourteen
original essays in Navigating Souths articulate questions about the
significances of the South as a theoretical and literal "home" base
for social science and humanities researchers. They also examine
challenges faced by researchers who identify as southern studies
scholars, as well as by those who live and work in the regional
South, and show how researchers have responded to these challenges.
In doing so, this book project seeks to reframe the field of
southern studies as it is currently being practiced by social
science and humanities scholars and thus reshape historical and
cultural conceptualizations of the region. Contributors: Alix
