Mercer University Press: CrossRoads

CrossRoads: A Southern Culture Annual is a publication dedicated to the interdisciplinary study and artistic appreciation of the South (broadly defined) and Southern culture. Appearing first in the spring of 2004, CrossRoads continued the editorial approach of CrossRoads: A Journal of Southern Culture, a semi-legendary periodical originally published in the early 1990s by a dedicated group of graduate students affiliated with the University of Mississippi’s Center for the Study of Southern Culture. The original periodical of CrossRoads featured previously unpublished material by many of the leading scholars andartists committed to interpreting and celebrating the South.
