Understanding the American South : Slavery, Race, Identity, and the American Century Paperback / softback
by Lacy K., Jr. (University of South Carolina) Ford
Part of the Cambridge Studies on the American South series
Paperback / softback
Description
Americans in the twenty-first century find themselves searching for new understandings of their history.
They seek explanations for chronic political polarization, acute pandemic polarization, social media addiction, heightened concern over global warming and armed global conflict, widening cultural and economic gaps between city and countryside, persistent racial tensions, gender divides, abortion rights, tensions over public school curriculum, and a forty-year pattern of increasing economic inequality in the United States.
Americans are looking for a past that can help them understand the divided and fractious present, a past that enlightens and inspires.
In this collection of original essays, Lacy K. Ford uses the past to inform the present, as he provides a deeper, more nuanced understanding of American history and the American South's complicated relationship with it.
