Southern Cultures has just released a special issue devoted entirely to Memory. We’ve also updated our online archives in many subject areas and are again offering free CDs and DVDs for use in classrooms during the coming academic year.
The Memory issue features:
Peter S. Carmichael on why Robert E. Lee provokes so much argument;
Alice Walker, Randall Kenan, Allan Gurganus, Joe Flora, Elizabeth Spencer, Godfrey Cheshire, Kenneth Turan, and Andrew Garrison on their favorite Southern films;
what to do about the Thomas Ruffin statue;
memories of World War II Appalachia;
new poetry from Robert Morgan;
baseball legend Catfish Hunter and his hometown remembered;
an interview with the Grandmother of Appalachian Studies;
scenes from wartime Hot Springs, Arkansas;
and more.
50,000 students and scholars from over 70 countries have read Southern Cultures in the past year, and all of our content from the last decade is available online by subject area and by issue at:

“The rich array of photographs and graphics,
and the sincere and effective attempt at readerly appeal,
go well beyond what is attempted by most. . .
Southern Cultures is truly impressive.”
