Southern Character

“A rich and diverse look at the many identities of a rich and diverse region. More than an homage to a gifted historian, it is a stand-alone, interdisciplinary inquiry into just how complicated this thing called ‘the South’ can be. It’s all here, from literature to politics, race to religion, gender to genealogy, Old South to New—with voodoo and a doomed barge canal as added twists. Fascinating and absolutely up-to-date.”—John Mayfield, author of Counterfeit Gentlemen
