New Directions in Southern Studies
The University of North Carolina Press and the Center for the Study of Southern Culture are pleased to announce New Directions in Southern Studies, a wide-ranging, interdisciplinary collection of books that seeks to point scholarship on the American South toward new areas of research, guiding critical discussion about the goals and methods of Southern Studies. The series will offer fresh approaches to the study of Southern history and society, publishing books that explore the interface of traditional disciplines and new topics and methods to enrich the study of the region. The series seeks works on the 20th century that address the cultural dimensions of such areas as literature, music, art, folklife, documentary studies, race relations, gender, religion, ethnicity, the environment, language, and social class. We invite works by both established and younger scholars.
The first three books in the series are Wounds of Returning by Jessica Adams, Ordering the Facade by Katherine Henninger, and Lynching and Spectacle by Amy Louise Wood. All three volumes are available from UNC Press.
