Other Souths: Diversity and Difference in the U.S. South, Reconstruction to Present

Other Souths is a groundbreaking collection of essays that redefines the traditional narrative of southern history, placing issues of race, class, gender, ethnicity, and sexuality at its center.

With a chronological and event-driven framework, Other Souths covers well-recognized topics in American history, including wars, reform efforts, social movements, and political milestones, while also exploring cultural topics such as the development of consumer capitalism, the history of rock and roll, and the history of sport.
