From the Inside Flap

This volume offers a current and authoritative reference to urbanization in the American South from the 18th century to the 21st, surveying important southern cities individually and examining the various issues that shape patterns of urbanization from a broad regional perspective. Forty-eight thematic essays consider the ongoing remarkable growth of southern urban centers, new immigration patterns, booming regional entrepreneurial activities with global reach, and mounting challenges that result from these patterns. Thirty-one topical entries focus on individual cities and urban cultural elements, including Mardi Gras, Dollywood, and the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
