La 4e de couverture indique : "Typically, more than half the top rap songs in the country are the work of Southern artists. In a world still stuck in the East/West coast paradigm of the '90s, the simple fact is that Southern hip-hop has dominated the genre - and defined the culture - for years. Roni Sarig explains how and why." "From the crime-ridden wards of New Orleans to the upscale suburbs of Atlanta, from the secluded outpost of Virginia Beach to the international hub of Miami - plus all the small Southern towns in between - Third Coast chronicles the artists, labels, and communities that rewrote the script on how hip-hop could sound, signify, and get sold."

Shelby Foote's magnificently orchestrated novel anticipates much of the subject matter of his monumental Civil War trilogy, rendering the clash between North and South with a violence all the more shocking for its intimacy. Love in a Dry Season describes an erotic and economic triangle, in which two wealthy and fantastically unhappy Mississippi families—the Barcrofts and the Carrutherses—are joined by an open-faced fortune hunter from the North, a man whose ruthlessness is matched only by his inability to understand the people he tries to exploit and his fatal incomprehension of the passions he so casually ignites. Combining a flawless sense of place with a Faulknerian command of the grotesque, Foote's novel turns a small cotton town into a sexual battleground as fatal as Vicksburg or Shiloh—and one where strategy is no match for instinct and tradition.

Come Sit a Spell! Some people wonder, what makes the South the South? Is it the borders of a group of states? The food? The mindset? Why do we Southerners think of ourselves as having an "otherness," a sense of togetherness, that no other region in the nation can match? We don't all think the same, or look the same, or have the same genes. But, in some indefinable way, we are a family. In this book of columns written for It's a Southern Thing, award-winning humorist Kelly Kazek evokes the beauty and quirky character of the South that raised her. Cover design by Jan Shade Beach. 192 pages, Hardcover
