By attending closely to the historical formation and mutation of the things southerners have most often said that they \u003ci\u003eare\u003c\/i\u003e, we can better understand the dynamic and dialogic process of group formation in the U.S. South.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSCOTT ROMINE is professor of English at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
