Community is an evolving and complex concept that historians have
applied to localities, counties, and the South as a whole in order
to ground larger issues in the day-to-day lives of all segments of
society. These social networks sometimes unite and sometimes divide
people, they can mirror or transcend political boundaries, and they
may exist solely within the cultures of like-minded people. This
volume explores the nature of southern communities during the long
nineteenth century. The contributors build on the work of scholars
who have allowed us to see community not simply as a place but
instead as an idea in a constant state of definition and
redefinition. They reaffirm that there never has been a singular
southern community. As editors Steven E. Nash and Bruce E. Stewart
reveal, southerners have constructed an array of communities across
the region and beyond. Nor do the contributors idealize these
communities. Far from being places of cooperation and harmony,
southern communities were often rife with competition and discord.
Indeed, conflict has constituted a vital part of southern communal
development. Taken together, the essays in this volume remind us
how community-focused studies can bring us closer to answering
those questions posed to Quentin Compson in Absalom, Absalom!:
"Tell [us] about the South. What's it like there. What do they do
there. Why do they live there. Why do they live at all."
