Rather than treating \"the South\" as a fixed geography or predetermined object of study, this innovative, forward-thinking collection reframes region as an ontological and epistemological project shaped by--and resistant to--Eurocentric regimes of documentality. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBringing together activists, archivists, and scholars across disciplines, the essays in \u003ci\u003eRecord, Document, Archive\u003c\/i\u003e trace the extent to which documentality has governed life and death in the U.S. South, from Indigenous Removal, enslavement, and Jim Crow to contemporary regimes of immigration enforcement, border policing, and the legal erasure of queer and undocumented lives. \"Record\" emphasizes embodied, affective, and more-than-human acts of marking experience. \"Document\" interrogates the pedagogical, legal, and evidentiary force of documentation, highlighting counter-hegemonic methods that unsettle dominant southern narratives. \"Archive\" addresses curation, access, and governance, advancing liberatory memory work that confronts archival violence and privilege while imagining new possibilities for justice-oriented futures. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e By attending to the anticipatory acts that precede narrative and law, \u003ci\u003eRecord, Document, Archive\u003c\/i\u003e opens pathways toward \"southern elsewheres\"--modes of knowing, remembering, and belonging that resist rigid epistemologies and orient scholarship toward liberation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephanie Rountree\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807187380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807187388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LSU Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/19\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Stephanie Rountree","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48588464783615,"sku":"9780807187388","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/record-document-archive-stephanie-rountree-9780807187388","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
