Knowledge emerges from contexts, which are shaped by people's
experiences. The varied essays in Thinking the US South:
Contemporary Philosophy from Southern Perspectives demonstrate that
Southern identities, borders, and practices play an important but
unacknowledged role in ethical, political, emotional, and global
issues connected to knowledge production. Not merely one
geographical region among others, the US South is sometimes a
fantasy and other times a nightmare, but it is always a prominent
component of the American national imaginary. In connection with
the Global North and Global South, the US South provides a valuable
perspective from which to explore race, class, gender, and other
inter- and intra-American differences. The result is a fresh look
at how identity is constituted; the role of place, ancestors, and
belonging in identity formation; the impact of regional differences
on what counts as political resistance; the ways that affect and
emotional labor circulate; practices of boundary policing,
deportation, and mourning; issues of disability and slowness;
racial and other forms of suffering; and above all, the question of
whether and how doing philosophy changes when done from Southern
standpoints. Examining racist tropes, Indigenous land claims, Black
Southern philosophical perspectives, migrant labor, and more, this
incisive anthology makes clear that roots matter.
