HIST 224 - Southern Cultures: Field Holler to NASCAR


Fall or Spring (3) Petty (College 200, CSI, GER 4A)

This class will explore one of the most repressive regions in the US: the Southern worlds of plantation, slave quarter, and hillbilly-hideout. How did blues and country music emerge? How did the literature of Faulkner, Ralph Ellison, and Carson McCullers grow out of the South? How did stock car racing grow out of moon shining? (This course is anchored in the CSI domain, and also considers aspects of the ALV domain.)
