This book discusses aspects outside the mainstream of southern
history.""Other Souths"" collects fifteen innovative essays that
place issues of race, class, gender, ethnicity, and sexuality at
the center of the narrative of southern history. Using a range of
methodologies and approaches, contributing historians provide a
fresh perspective to key events and move long-overlooked episodes
into prominence.Pippa Holloway edited the volume using a
chronological and event-driven framework with which many students
and teachers will be familiar. The book covers well-recognized
topics in American history: wars, reform efforts, social movements,
and political milestones. Cultural topics are considered as well,
including the development of consumer capitalism, the history of
rock and roll, and the history of sport. The focus and organization
of the essays underscore the value of southern history to the
larger national narrative.""Other Souths"" reveals the history of
what may strike some as a surprisingly dynamic and nuanced region -
a region better understood by paying closer and more careful
attention to its diversity.
