Book Description
How does one begin to understand the idea of a distinctive southern way of life—a concept as enduring as it is disputed? In this examination of the American South in national and global contexts, celebrated historian Charles Reagan Wilson assesses how diverse communities of southerners have sought to define the region's identity. Surveying three centuries of southern regional consciousness across many genres, disciplines, and cultural strains, Wilson considers and challenges prior presentations of the region, advancing a vision of southern culture that has always been plural, dynamic, and complicated by race and class. Structured in three parts, The Southern Way of Life takes readers on a journey from the colonial era to the present, from when complex ideas of "southern civilization" rooted in slaveholding and agrarianism dominated to the twenty-first-century rise of a modern, multicultural "southern living." As Wilson shows, there is no singular or essential South but rather a rich tapestry woven with contestations, contingencies, and change.

I have taken what she told me and put it into this story for all of the children that started with these two people. My mother, Winnie, would have never thought how important she had been to this family structure. Most mornings, she would just sit there, drink her coffee, smoke her cigarette and every so often sing a lyric from “The Old Rugged Cross”. She was a wonderful individual who always believed that tomorrow would be a better day. It all started along the Arkansas River and with these two people...Grover Cleveland Light and Winifred Beatrice Smith. Read and enjoy.
