Southern Comforts : Drinking and the U.S. South
Verlag: LSU Press Mär 2020, 2020
ISBN 10: 0807171735ISBN 13: 9780807171738
Buch
Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Moving beyond familiar myths about moonshiners, bootleggers, and hard-drinking writers, 'Southern Comforts' explores how alcohol and drinking helped shape the literature and culture of the U.S. South. Edited by Conor Picken and Matthew Dischinger, this collection of seventeen thought-provoking essays proposes that discussions about drinking in southern culture often orbit around familiar figures and mythologies that obscure what drinking has meant over time. Complexities of race, class, and gender remain hidden amid familiar images, catchy slogans, and convenient stories. As the first collection of scholarship that investigates the relationship between drinking and the South, 'Southern Comforts' challenges popular assumptions about alcohol in the South by examining evocative topics drawn from literature, music, film, city life, and cocktail culture. Taken together, the essays collected here illustrate that exaggerated representations of drinking oversimplify the region's relationship to alcohol, in effect absorbing it into narratives of southern exceptionalism that persist to this day. From Edgar Allan Poe to Richard Wright, Bessie Smith to Johnny Cash, Bourbon Street tourism to post-Katrina disaster capitalism and more, 'Southern Comforts: Drinking and the U.S. South' uncovers the reciprocal relationship between mythologies of drinking and mythologies of region'.

Reinterpreting Southern Histories : Essays in Historiography
Verlag: LSU Press Mär 2020, 2020
ISBN 10: 0807172561ISBN 13: 9780807172568
Buch
Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - ''Interpreting Southern Histories' is a collection of historiographical essays that updates and expands upon the iconic volumes 'Writing Southern History' (1967) and 'Interpreting Southern History' (1987), both published by Louisiana State University Press. This third volume includes nineteen essays and an introduction co-written by the most prominent historians working in southern history today. Two scholars, typically at different stages in their careers, collaboratively wrote each essay, providing a broad knowledge of the most recent historiography and expansive visions for historiographical contexts. Each essay connects intellectually with the earlier volumes but avoids unnecessary redundancy. Each also attends to ways in which the cultural turn of the 1980s and 1990s introduced the use of language and cultural symbols, including the influence of gender studies, postcolonial studies, and memory studies. The essays also broadly consider the gradual normalization of the South, relying less on conceptualizing the South as a distinct region and more on contextualizing it within national and global historiographies. In such consideration, however, the contributors also note where the historiography continues to insist on a distinctive 'South.' This book will be essential reading for every scholar and serious student of southern history'.
