“A must-have for any educated Southerner. . . . You'll come away with a whole new perspective on your roots.” — DEEP

“Impressive. . . . A balanced, readable, information-rich volume that should be a standard resource for scholars. . . . A welcome addition to the Southern Culture series” — Journal of Mississippi History

“Gathers a wide variety of useable information for scholars and non-scholars alike.” — Louisiana History

“An expansion of the original [Encyclopedia of Southern Culture’s] 'Ethnic Life' section, [The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture: Volume 6: Ethnicity] takes into account new developments in the field of southern studies and treats more than twice as many ethnic groups.” — Booklist

“For newcomers, natives, and anyone else, this volume on ethnicity in the U.S. South is at once eye-opening, thorough, and engrossing. Varieties and changes as well as enduring patterns are plumbed, enriching and informing our often simplistic views of a complex region. This is a landmark work.” — James Peacock, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
