South to America : a journey below the Mason-Dixon to understand the soul of a nation / Imani Perry. by Perry, Imani, 1972- ECCO, an imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers, 2022. Call #: 917.504 P463s Subjects Perry, Imani, 1972- -- Travel -- Southern States.   National Book Awards.   Southern States -- Description and travel   Southern States -- Social life and customs -- 21st century.   Southern States -- Race relations ISBN:  9780062977403 (hc.) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  xix, 410 p. ; 24 cm. Notes:  Includes index. Summary:  "We all think we know the South. Even those who have never lived there can rattle off a list of signifiers: the Civil War, Gone with the Wind, the Ku Klux Klan, plantations, football, Jim Crow, slavery. But the idiosyncrasies, dispositions, and habits of the region are stranger and more complex than much of the country tends to acknowledge. In South to America, Imani Perry shows that the meaning of American is inextricably linked with the South, and that our understanding of its history and culture is the key to understanding the nation as a whole. This is the story of a Black woman and native Alabaman returning to the region she has always called home and considering it with fresh eyes. Her journey is full of detours, deep dives, and surprising encounters with places and people. She renders Southerners from all walks of life with sensitivity and honesty, sharing her thoughts about a troubling history and the ritual humiliations and joys that characterize so much of Southern life. Weaving together stories of immigrant communities, contemporary artists, exploitative opportunists, enslaved peoples, unsung heroes, her own ancestors, and her lived experiences, Imani Perry [the Hughes-Rogers Professor of African American Studies at Princeton University, where she also teaches gender and sexuality studies, law and public affairs and jazz studies] crafts a tapestry unlike any other. With uncommon insight and breathtaking clarity, South to America offers an assertion that if we want to build a more humane future for the United States, we must center our concern below the Mason-Dixon Line"--From publisher.
