The hungrily awaited sixth volume in the Cornbread Nation series tells the story of the American South--circa now--through the prism of its food and the people who grow, make, serve, and eat it. The modern South serves up a groaning board of international cuisines virtually unknown to previous generations of Southerners, notes Brett Anderson in his introduction. Southern food, like the increasingly globalized South, shows an open and cosmopolitan attitude toward ethnic diversity. But fully appreciating Southern food still requires fluency with the region's history, warts and all. The essays, memoirs, poetry, and profiles in this book are informed by that fluency, revealing topics and people traditional as well as avant garde, down home as well as urbane.

The book is organized into six chapters: "Menu Items" shares ruminations on iconic dishes; "Messing with Mother Nature" looks at the relationship between food and the natural environment; "Southern Characters" profiles an eclectic mix of food notables; "Southern Drinkways" distills libations, hard and soft; "Identity in Motion" examines change in the Southern food world; and "The Global South" leaves readers with some final thoughts on the cross-cultural influences wafting from the Southern kitchen. Gathered here are enough prominent food writers to muster the liveliest of dinner parties: Molly O'Neill, Calvin Trillin, Michael Pollan, Kim Severson, Martha Foose, Jessica Harris, Bill Addison, Matt and Ted Lee, and Lolis Eric Elie, among others. Two classic pieces--Frederick Douglass's account of the sustenance of slaves and Edward Behr's 1995 profile of Cajun cook Eula Mae Dor --are included. A photo essay on the Collins Oyster Company family of Louisiana rounds out Cornbread Nation 6.

Published in association with the Southern Foodways Alliance at the Center for the Study of Southern Culture at the University of Mississippi. A Friends Fund Publication.

Good oil, fun sparkles!
Size: 3.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I finally finished the bottle I purchased and I think it's really quite good. Apply after the shower. Helps with winter dry skin and the sparkles are fun. The scent is pleasant but not excessively strong, which is a plus imo. It's a thin oil which is good - it doesn't feel too occlusive. Might repurchase after using up other products I have; I think this would be a better summer buy considering the sparkles aren't visible in the winter when I'm suited up in long sleeves and pants all day.

Give nice glow, looks good for fair skin tone
Size: 3.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have fair skin and was a little unsure about trying something made with melanin-rich skin in mind, but this body oil surprised me in the best way. I wanted something that would give my skin a nice, healthy glow without looking over-the-top or glittery, and this does exactly that. The shimmer is subtle and refined—it catches the light just enough to make my skin look radiant, especially in the sun, but never looks too much. The texture is smooth and lightweight, not sticky or greasy, which is a huge plus for me. It absorbs nicely and doesn’t sit on top of the skin like some other oils I’ve tried. It also smells really lovely—just a soft, warm scent that fades gently and doesn’t overpower anything else I might wear. I appreciate that it doesn’t cling to clothes or leave any stains; I’ve worn white linen after putting it on and had no issues. I've been reaching for it constantly this summer, especially when I wear shorts or dresses—it gives that polished look without much effort

Wonderful Body OIl
Size: 3.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I will give this a five star because of overall quality. Even though I REALLY DO NOT LIKE the fact that it stains my sheets after application if I put it on before bed, I really really love the overall quality. The smell is so delicious. It makes my skin so soft and supple-- Vaseline went all out and really was put a lot of thought in for the melanin-rich ladies. It is a great product, I just wish it did not stain so bad, and I wish it came in a bigger bottle. It is quite expensive in my opinion for the size, but it is worth every penny. It has a color similar to the color on the bottle, it is translucent with shimmery glitter all throughout the mixture and it has a great feel when you apply it to your skin. It rubs in like butter and is OH SO moisturizing. I highly recommend if you love feeling moisturized and every inch of you cared for with a body oil. Just don't put it on with a shower before you go to bed and lay down in your bed.

Love it!!
Size: 3.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Love the way this smells and the shimmer; I’m a glitter for every occasion girly, so this helps me be subtle lol. I got compliments on the scent & it was all I had on. A little goes a long way. It’s not super greasy, but def don’t need a lot of it.
