After decades of being both celebrated and dismissed as the exception within American exceptionalism, the South is emerging as central to debates in fields ranging from American studies and African American studies to cultural studies and postcolonial theory. Engaged with these debates from the outset, “the new southern studies,” as Houston Baker named the field, thus only secondarily reinvigorates the old. Rather, as its scholars look at the South

afresh, their chief aim is a floor-to-ceiling rethinking of some of the central ideas of the last twenty years of critical theory: objecthood, identity, space, nation, region, abjection, the body, empire. The books in The New Southern Studies series are interdisciplinary, methodologically rigorous, and iconoclastic and will, as a result, engage scholars and students in a wide variety of fields. www.ugapress.org/index.php/series/TNSS
