Scott L. Matthews. Capturing the South: Imagining America’s Most Documented Region
What does it mean to have a place defined and imagined as a place of documentation? What is the relationship between the documentarian—author, folklorist, filmmaker, photographer, or musicologist—and the people they document? These are the questions Scott L. Matthews addresses in his engaging and insightful book exploring the history of documenting the twentieth-century South, Capturing the South: Imagining America’s Most Documented Region. Altho…
Nancy Isenberg. White Trash: A 400-Year Untold History of Class in America
In her extensively researched and provocatively titled monograph White Trash: A 400-Year Untold History of Class in America, Nancy Isenberg makes clear that fear of landless people of white racial lineage is central to the fabric of American history and identity. She argues effectively that the ongoing concern about the “stagnant, expendable bottom layers of society” (xv) reveals that the nation has been defined far more by social class stasis an…
Walk-modularity and community structure in networks
Modularity maximization has been one of the most widely used approaches in the last decade for discovering community structure in networks of practical interest in biology, computing, social science, statistical mechanics, and more. Modularity is a quality function that measures the difference between the number of edges found within clusters minus the number of edges one would statistically expect to find based on some equivalent random graph mo…
Colonels, Hillbillies, and Fightin: Twentieth-Century Kentucky in the National Imagination
Colonels, Hillbillies, and Fightin':Twentieth-Century Kentucky in the National Imagination Anthony Harkins (bio) When I announced in 2003 to my in-laws (born and bred in New York City) that I was going for an academic job interview in what to them was far off Bowling Green, Kentucky, they speculated about what the post-interview socializing might entail: "I guess you'll be sitting on the porch drinking mint juleps," suggested my mother-in-law. "O…
Dreaming of Dixie: How the South Was Created in American Popular Culture
From shortly after the end of the Civil War until well after World War II the South was (and remains) one of the most mythologized regions of the United States, presented in commercial popular culture forever fixed in an antebellum past of graceful estates, simple but devoted slaves, benevolent plantation owners, and humble but content hill folk. Such an image, Karen L. Cox argues in her well-researched overview of the construction of the South o…

Odd Tribes: Toward a Cultural Analysis of White People
Odd Tribes challenges theories of whiteness and critical race studies by examining the tangles of privilege, debasement, power, and stigma that constitute white identity. Considering the relation of phantasmatic cultural forms such as the racial stereotype "white trash" to the actual social conditions of poor whites, John Hartigan Jr. generates new insights into the ways that race, class, and gender are fundamentally interconnected. By tracing th…
Hillbilly: A Cultural History of an American Icon
In this pioneering work of cultural history, historian Anthony Harkins argues that the hillbilly-in his various guises of "briar hopper," "brush ape," "ridge runner," and "white trash"-has been viewed by mainstream Americans simultaneously as a violent degenerate who threatens the modern order and as a keeper of traditional values of family, home, and physical production, and thus symbolic of a nostalgic past free of the problems of contemporary …
