South to a New Place - Region, Literature, Culture

Contributors to this work continue the work of critically remapping the South through their studies of southern literature and culture. In appraising representations of the South within a context that is postmodern, diverse, and international, the essays present multiple ways of imagining the South and examine both new places and old landscapes in an attempt to tie the mythic southern balloon down to earth. They explore the roles that economic, racial, and ideological tensions have played in the formation of southern identity through varying representations of locality, moving regionalism toward a "new place" in southern studies.
