Explores the practices and cultural institutions that define and sustain African American "southernness, " demonstrating that southern identity is more expansive than traditional narratives that center on white culture

Identifies the Civil War as the central narrative around which official depictions of southern culture have been defined.

Patricia Davis traces how the increasing participation of black public voices in the realms of Civil War memory has begun to create a more fluid sense of southernness.
