Southerners are known for their strong sense of history. But the
kinds of memories southerners have valued--and the ways in which
they have preserved, transmitted, and revitalized those
memories--have been as varied as the region's inhabitants
themselves. This collection presents fresh and innovative
perspectives on how southerners across two centuries and from Texas
to North Carolina have interpreted their past. Thirteen
contributors explore the workings of historical memory among groups
as diverse as white artisans in early-nineteenth-century Georgia,
African American authors in the late nineteenth century, and
Louisiana Cajuns in the twentieth century. In the process, they
offer critical insights for understanding the many communities that
make up the American South. As ongoing controversies over the
Confederate flag, the Alamo, and depictions of slavery at historic
sites demonstrate, southern history retains the power to stir
debate. By placing these and other conflicts over the recalled past
into historical context, this collection will deepen our
understanding of the continuing significance of history and memory
for southern regional identity. Contributors: Bruce E. Baker
