When Zandria Robinson returned home to interview African Americans
in Memphis, she was often greeted with some version of the caution
""I hope you know this ain't Chicago."" In this important new work,
Robinson critiques ideas of black identity constructed through a
northern lens and situates African Americans as central shapers of
contemporary southern culture. Analytically separating black
southerners from their migrating cousins, fictive kin, and white
counterparts, Robinson demonstrates how place intersects with race,
class, gender, and regional identities and differences. Robinson
grounds her work in Memphis--the first big city heading north out
of the Mississippi Delta. Although Memphis sheds light on much
about the South, Robinson does not suggest that the region is
monolithic. Instead, she attends to multiple Souths, noting the
distinctions between southern places. Memphis, neither Old South
nor New South, sits at the intersections of rural and urban, soul
and post-soul, and civil rights and post-civil rights, representing
an ongoing conversation with the varied incarnations of the South,
past and present.
