Book Synopsis
The first volume to use southern cemeteries to interrogate and analyse southern society and the construction of racial and gendered hierarchies from the antebellum period through the dismantling of Jim Crow.

Trade Review
This volume takes cemetery and gravestone studies in an entirely new direction. The chapters are well written and the volume is thoughtfully organized. Although the South is truly distinctive, I wish every culture region had a volume like this. . . . This is more than a simple scholarly work. It is a book that changes the conversation." - Richard Veit, coauthor of The Archaeology of American Cemeteries and Gravemarkers
