With over 95 entries, this volume of \u003ci\u003eThe New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture\u003c\/i\u003e explores the most significant forms and many of the most harrowing incidences of violence that have plagued southern society over the past 300 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing a detailed overview by editor Amy Wood, the volume explores a wide range of topics, such as violence against and among American Indians, labor violence, arson, violence and memory, suicide, and anti-abortion violence. Taken together, these entries broaden our understanding of what has driven southerners of various classes and various ethnicities to commit acts of violence, while addressing the ways in which southerners have conceptualized that violence, responded to it, or resisted it. This volume enriches our understanding of the culture of violence and its impact on ideas about law and crime, about historical tradition and social change, and about race and gender -- not only in the South but in the nation as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith over 95 entries, this volume of \"The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture\" explores the most significant forms and many of the most harrowing incidences of violence that have plagued southern society over the past 300 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmy Louise Wood is associate professor of history at Illinois State University and author of \u003ci\u003eLynching and Spectacle: Witnessing Racial Violence in America, 1890-1940\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eCharles Reagan Wilson is Kelly Gene Cook Sr. Chair in History and Professor of Southern Studies at the University of Mississippi.
