Description:
This anthology demonstrates that US Southern identities, borders, and practices play an important but unacknowledged role in ethical, political, emotional, and global issues connected to knowledge production.
Review Quotes: "The essays in Thinking the US South span a wide gamut of issues and concerns, many of which, I am sure, will be quite unfamiliar to those philosophers socialized by the standard canon. As such, this book has the great virtue of contributing to the growing body of work demonstrating that while mainstream philosophers claim the status of universality for their writings and framings of what are supposed to be the important philosophical questions, they are actually only drawing on a severely restricted sub-section of the human experience. Overall, this is a very valuable and interesting collection, well worth adding to your library." --Charles Mills, author of Black Rights/White Wrongs: The Critique of Racial Liberalism
