Peacock, author of Grounded Globalism: How the U.S. South Embraces the World This book explores how an eclectic selection of narratives and images of the American South have been created and consumed. The thirteen essays move beyond both traditional accounts of southern identity as either declining or enduring, and more recent postmodernist accounts of the South as imagined or invented. Instead, the contributors emphasize how narratives and images of {"}the South{"} have real social, political, and economic ramifications, and that they register at various local, regional, national, and transnational scales.
