How does one begin to understand the idea of a distinctive southern way of life—a concept as enduring as it is disputed?

Surveying three centuries of southern regional consciousness across many genres, disciplines, and cultural strains, Wilson considers and challenges prior presentations of the region, advancing a vision of southern culture that has always been plural, dynamic, and complicated by race and class.
