520 |a Drawing on two decades of teaching a college-level course on southern history as viewed through autobiography and memoir, John C. Inscoe has crafted a series of essays exploring the southern experience as reflected in the life stories of those who lived it. Constantly attuned to the pedagogical value of these narratives, Inscoe argues that they offer exceptional means of teaching young people because the authors focus so fully on their confrontations--as children, adolescents, and young adults--with aspects of southern life that they found to be troublesome, perplexing, or challenging. Maya Angelou, Rick Bragg, Jimmy Carter, Bessie and Sadie Delany, Willie Morris, Pauli Murray, Lillian Smith, and Thomas Wolfe are among the more prominent of the many writers, both famous and obscure, upon whom Inscoe draws to construct a composite portrait of the South at its most complex and diverse. The power of place; struggles with racial, ethnic, and class identities; the strength and strains of family; educational opportunities both embraced and thwarted--all are themes that infuse the works in this most intimate and humanistic of historical genres. --From the back of book 
520 |a Inscoe (history, U. of Georgia) draws from a course he taught on "Southern Autobiography as Southern History" at the U. of Georgia that used autobiography and memoir to explore the southern experience and show students how individuals' accounts of their lives can serve as important historical sources. He culls his lectures, discussions, and feedback from students for essays that discuss these stories, how they uniquely view life in terms of place, and how they can be used to explore race and ethnicity, class, kinship, community, education, gender, and politics. He discusses works by Maya Angelou, Rick Bragg, Jimmy Carter, Bessie and Sadie Delaney, Willie Morris, Pauli Murray, Lillian Smith, Thomas Wolfe, William Styron, Zora Neale Hurston, and other writers and their experiences with miscegenation, racial oppression and harassment, poverty, segregated rail travel, college education, and the Appalachian view of home, ending with an overview of works by Native Americans, Asians, and Latinos from the South.
