The Deepest South of All Summary
Richard Grant

The Deepest South of All Overview

Building upon the traditional travel narrative, Grant provides an intimate first-person account of an eventful stay in Natchez, Mississippi. He interviews townspeople of all social strata and asks questions about what it means to be a Southerner faced with stark racial inequalities. Finally, Grant meditates upon the place of tradition in the New South--what it has meant in the past and how it will continue to inform future generations.
