Grounded Globalism: How the U.S. South Embraces the World (The New Southern Studies)
"Peacock's new book will provide informed answers to many questions about the future of the American South. His term 'grounded globalism' will likely become the key one for understanding how a transformed South will play a distinctive role, not only in the nation but in the world. This engaging study shows a distinguished scholar attuned to a spectacular array of evidence that has deeper patterns he discerns. Peacock has been paying close, sensitive attention to developments in the South, and this book represents a report from the swirl of social change that is bringing new peoples, cultures, and attitudes into the region."—Charles Reagan Wilson, Director of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture at the University of Mississippi
