Description

Book Synopsis
With a focus on media forms through which southern identity gets articulated and questioned - including horror movies, Swamp Thing comics, and popular music - The Dirty South probes the sustained fascination with southern dirtiness while reflecting on its causes and consequences since the end of the civil rights era.

Trade Review
A unique and multilayered analysis of what and who makes the South legible in its modern iterations, The Dirty South offers some new language and approaches to push back against the lazy assertions of the region being a singularly white, conservative, and monolithic experience. . . . It's a helluva read." - Regina N. Bradley, author of Chronicling Stankonia: The Rise of the Hip-Hop South
