| Abstract |
"The essays in Insiders, outsiders tap into the interdisciplinary synergy that has come to characterize Southern studies, exploring current creative tensions between classic themes in Southern history and the new ways to approach them. Region and identity, intellectuals and change, the South as an idea and ideas in the South-these continue to inspire the best new research as showcased in this collection"-- Provided by publisher. |
