Our March selection is South To America: A Journey Below the Mason-Dixon to Understand the Sour of a Nation by Imani Perry.
South to America: A Journey Below the Mason‑Dixon Line to Understand the Soul of America
Author: Imani Perry
New York Times Review: The New York Times Book Review praised the book as an insightful, ambitious, and moving project that defies easy classification by blending history, memoir, literary criticism, journalism, and poetry. The reviewer — Tayari Jones — highlighted Perry’s extensive travels through more than a dozen Southern towns and cities to excavate both historical and contemporary realities, confronting atrocities and resilience alike while weaving in personal and familial moments. The review describes the book as a scrupulously researched and genre-straddling meditation on the American South and its inextricable role in shaping American identity and culture, concluding that it is an essential reflection on the South and Americanness itself.
