Description

For many Southern men living in or on the subject of rural landscapes, hunting is a passion. But it’s not a timeless activity in a cultural void. Whether pursuers of fox or raccoon, deer or rabbits, quail or dove, Southern hunters reveal for Stuart Marks complex patterns of male bonding, social status, and relationships with nature. Marks, who has written two outstanding books on hunting in Africa, used to be born and has long lived within the South. Examining Southern hunting from frontier times throughout the antebellum era to the present day, he shows it to be a litmus test of rural identity. “Drawing at the contemporary anthropological theory, statistical sources, extensive interviews, and historical research, [Marks] has crafted a multifaceted account of Southern hunting. Relations of race, property, gender, and region appear in fresh guises on this innovative and intriguing study. The portrayal of the recent state of hunting is especially interesting, revealing both the continuities with the past and the brand new pressures at the sport.”–Virginia Quarterly Review
