This volume collects 27 essays from the journal's first fifteen years, bringing together some of the most memorable and engaging essays as well as some of those most requested for use in courses. A stellar cast of contributors discusses themes of identity, pride, traditions, changes, conflicts, and stereotypes. Topics range from black migrants in Chicago to Mexican immigrants in North Carolina, from Tennessee wrestlers to Martin Luther King, from the Civil War to contemporary debates about the Confederate flag. Funny and serious, historical and contemporary, the collection offers something new for every South-watcher, with fresh perspectives on enduring debates about the people and cultures of America's most complex region.

Reviews
"Each essay, whether written by an established scholar or someone not as well known, is well worth reading and studying. . . . Southern Cultures has been enlivening the study of our region for more than fifteen years now. May it continue to do so for at least fifty more!"--The Journal of Southern History
"Brings a lively, sometimes contrarian take to its area of study, combining academic rigor and a welcome accessibility."--Carolina Alumni Review
