Now members of institutions and libraries that subscribe to the digital archive Project Muse can access online all of our issues published since Winter 2000.
The Project Muse archive includes many of the theme issues Southern Cultures has published (which often include free CDs or DVDs) on such topics as southern biography, photography, tobacco, Hurricane Katrina, the Civil Rights Movement, First Peoples, politics, sports, and the Global South, as well as the ever-popular issues devoted entirely to music in 2006 and 2007.
Over the last few years we’ve quickly become known for our signature interviews with famous Southerners, including B.B. King, Pete Seeger, Alice Walker, Alex Haley, Eudora Welty, Walker Evans, Robert Penn Warren, Julian Bond, and John Dollard.
We also have a long history of publishing the best minds in the South—an impressive array of Southern authors, artists, and scholars: Doris Betts, David Cecelski, James C. Cobb, Peter Coclanis, Pat Conroy, Hal Crowther, Drew Gilpin Faust, William Ferris, Allan Gurganus, Sheldon Hackney, Trudier Harris, Fred Hobson, Doug Marlette, Melton McLaurin, Michael McFee, Robert Morgan, Michael O’Brien, Michael Parker, Tom Rankin, Shannon Ravenel, John Shelton Reed, Louis D. Rubin, Anne Firor Scott, David Sedaris, Alan Shapiro, Bland Simpson, Lee Smith, Henry Taylor, Timothy Tyson, Charles Reagan Wilson, C. Vann Woodward, and many others, including the original letters of Zora Neale Hurston and William Faulkner.
Every issue of Southern Cultures comes packed with photographs in an award-winning design, which means the best way to enjoy it still, even in the digital age, is in print. Subscribing is easy. Order now to make sure you don’t miss a single essay, article, poem, review, photograph, or free CD or DVD.
“The rich array of photographs and graphics, and the sincere and effective attempt at readerly appeal, go well beyond what is attempted by most… Southern Cultures is truly impressive.” —Council of Editors of Learned Journals
