Books in the New Studies in Southern History series will focus on the history of the American South broadly defined. From the colonial period through the New South, the South has both been part of and apart from the American experience. Its nuanced and varied culture continues to attract some of the most influential scholarship in American, comparative, and regional history. Projects appropriate for the series, including monographs, edited essay collections, and edited historical texts, will bring a new perspective to different aspects of southern U.S. life and history.
