• Sommario/riassunto: Articles in this volume explore the "where" of southern culture, past and present, as cities have grown larger and more important in the region's cultural landscape and heritage once passed along through the telling of tales is increasingly learned through books. This volume traces the evolution of southern culture and gives a spatial perspective to where the region's traditions and changes are taking place. Putting together the disparate pieces that make up this place called "the South," this volume provides a contextual setting for the discussions in all the other volumes of The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture.
