{"product_id":"dixie-curtis-wilkie-9780684872865","title":"Dixie: A Personal Odyssey Through Events That Shaped the Modern South","description":"In this riveting political and social history of the American South during the second half of the twentieth century, acclaimed journalist Curtis Wilkie tells the story of a region and a man -- himself -- intimately transformed by racial and political upheavals. In 1969, in the wake of the violence surrounding the civil rights movement, Wilkie left the South and vowed never to live there again. But after traveling the world as a reporter, he returned in 1993, drawn by a deep-rooted affinity with the territory of his youth. Here, he endeavors to make sense of the enormous changes that have convulsed the South for more than four decades. Through vivid recollections of landmark events, \u003ci\u003eDixie\u003c\/i\u003e becomes both a striking eyewitness account of history and an unconventional tale of redemption full of beauty, humor, and pathos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Curtis Wilkie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0684872862\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780684872865\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 5.54w x 0.89d","brand":"Curtis Wilkie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048759849215,"sku":"9780684872865","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_62d33266-5783-48d7-baa3-36d2eaf1dc7a.jpg?v=1684997665","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dixie-curtis-wilkie-9780684872865","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
