Summary
In this book the author shows that the chief purveyors of nostalgia for the Old South were outsiders of the region, playing to consumers' anxiety about modernity by marketing the South as a region still dedicated to America's pastoral traditions. She examines how southerners themselves embraced the imaginary romance of the region's past.
