The Southernization of America

Pulitzer Prize-winner Cynthia Tucker and author Frye Gaillard offer a nuanced reflection on the South's evolving role in America's political and social landscape from 1974 to the present. They examine the roots of recent national challenges, including racial tensions, political upheaval, and the influence of the Christian right, while also highlighting the region's legacy of civil rights progress. With a multi-racial perspective and years of experience, they explore the possibility that the South could play a leading role in America's pursuit of redemption amid a time of deep division.
