In this new SHA virtual program, we want to bring members together to confab about classic texts in Southern history. A panel of experts will discuss the content, context, and meaning of the text, both in the time of its publication and in our own time, and then open to the audience to further explore this canonical work together.
What will we be talking about? Well, rather than tell the people what they want, we want to hear from you! We're seeking input of SHA members on what our first few texts should be. We're defining "classic texts" as books that have made a considerable impact on Southern history, an impact that is still sparking discussion today. They are also classic in that they are at least twenty years old but not written before the 20th century when the field of Southern history became more professionalized. We've compiled a list of ten options, but it is in *no way* exhaustive. Feel free to add your own suggestion in the "other" box at the end!
