- W817852671 abstract "The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture: Ethnicity (Volume Six) By Celeste Ray, Volume Editor (Charles Reagan Wilson, General Editor) Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2007. xviii + 296pp. Tables, maps, illustrations, bibliography, and index. $39.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-8078-3123-6; $19.95 (paper), ISBN 978-0-80785823-3.The highly successful 1989 Encyclopedia of Southern Culture captured a scholarly readership and articulated South as a region of diversity within and across boundaries. Nevertheless, our understanding of the many Souths - and of region's complex and hybrid identity - has changed greatly in past two decades, and The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture: Ethnicity is a welcome publication.Like ethnicity itself, new edition can be read as a whole or as multiple conversations about regional identity. This 24-volume set is a valuable library reference set that provides topical treatments appropriate for college-level instruction, research center libraries, or general public.Celeste Ray's introduction to Ethnicity (volume 6) sets new sights for understanding globalization, creolization, and identity, furthering significantly George E. Pozzetta's 1989 essay on Ethnic Life asserting South 's heterogeneity. Gwendolyn Midlo Hall, Hannah Gill, Sam Britt, and Gaines Foster join Ray in offering their perspectives on emerging scholarship through eight thematic essays. With relatively little overlap, introduction and essays provide critical context for 88 entries in encyclopedia, nearly tripling coverage of original.Shawnee, Scots-Irish, and Salzburgers find expected places in this compendium, as do separate entries on Tigua Indians of Ysleta del Sur Pueblo, Travellers, and Turkish immigrants. This volume reaches both earlier and later in southern history to cover early South and late twentieth century, emphasizing global connections stretching back centuries. Essays chart American Indian and hybrid identities specific to southern locations since 1600, European and African migrations, and a notably increasing presence of Asian and Latin American arrivals. The lack of a listing in front matter for maps, tables, and author names requires more flipping through book than necessary, but text is engaging enough to overcome this small flaw. In its range of methodological treatments, breadth of coverage, and satisfying detail, this volume advances fields of ethnic studies and southern culture.Hip-hop music and an upsurge in literary expression linked to South have asserted distinct southern forms in American culture. At same time, national embrace of southern political leaders and NASCAR dilutes that uniqueness, placing regional identity in service of political machinery or commercialized spectatorship. In an era when only a fraction of southerners commonly eat grits, according to Gaines Foster, how are we to make sense of as an ethnicity at same time that so many ethnic cultures find particular expression in South?Binaries of black and white have never been adequate to explain South. Folktales, foodways, and intergenerational traditions have articulated multi-faceted and persistent ethnicities, with constant renegotiations of ethnic identity. Whether seen as a single southern ethnic identity or as many subregional cultures, ethnicity in South requires global and transnational perspectives.Ethnicity can become transparent, as shown by alternating top ranking of English and German as self-reported ancestry in South, despite documented prevalence of British Isles ancestry. Nationally, more Americans in 1990 and 2000 identified as German, although heritage activities did not corroborate that assertion. Perhaps it is true, as a Jewish friend once told me, that his consumption of bagels expressed Jewish affiliation m ways that mine, as a non-Jew, could not. If we choose what our activities mean, however, we should remember that ethnicity can be (reclaimed not only by those rediscovering ancestry, but also by those seeking heritage connections. …" @default.
