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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Featuring distinguished scholars writing from a wide range of multi- and interdisciplinary perspectives--history, literary studies, performance studies, popular music, and queer studies--the volume both challenges and expands on established understandings of how, when, where, and why ideas of the South have been developed and disseminated. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martyn Bone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813060699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813060699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Florida\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/07\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2015","brand":"Martyn Bone","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47425073316095,"sku":"9780813060699","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_79f3f2ec-975c-4dc6-b2ae-52f5d929fc20.jpg?v=1761536827","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/creating-and-consuming-the-american-martyn-bone-9780813060699","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
