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 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"--Publisher's description. 586 $a National Book Award for Nonfiction, 2022 600 10 $a Perry, Imani, $d 1972- $x Travel $z Southern States. 651 0 $a Southern States $x Description and travel. 651 0 $a Southern States $x Social life and customs $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Southern States $x Race relations. 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis (Sud) $x Descriptions et voyages. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0162035 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis (Sud) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0380212 $x Relations raciales. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0380212 650 7 $a HISTORY / Americas (North, Central, South, West Indies) $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a Travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155558 651 7 $a Southern States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244550 651 7 $a Southern States $x Description. $2 sears 651 7 $a Southern States $x Social life and customs. $2 sears 651 7 $a Southern States $x Race relations. $2 sears 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 0 $a Travel writing. 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919930 655 7 $a Travel writing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919983 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Travel writing. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a ReÌcits de voyages. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000001117 740 02 $a Errand into wilderness. 740 02 $a Solidified South. 740 02 $a Clearing. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Perry, Imani, 1972- $t South to America $b First edition. $d New York : ECCO, An Imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers, [2022] $z 9780062977380 $w (DLC) 2021047477 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20230626084755.0 $n 12 $p + 1 LP, 1 CD 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=42446DF6142511EE8E0ED416233FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
