For at least two centuries, the South’s economy, politics, religion, race relations, fiction, music, and foodways have figured prominently in nearly all facets of American life. W. Fitzhugh Brundage, editor of A New History of the American South, and contributing historians Kate Masur and Martha S. Jones discuss how the inclusion of new currents in scholarship and stories of individuals and groups whose experiences are absent from or underrepresented in histories of the South offer a fresh perspective on a part of the country that many people think they have long figured out.
