Books are the Best Souvenirs

One of the souvenirs I most love to bring back from a trip is books. Whether it’s in a local bookshop, the tourist traps or at a historical site/museum, I can always find books that, unlike T-shirts and shot glasses, provide me with the essences of the place I’m vacationing. And the best souvenir is the one that brings the memories of the fun and adventures you had on your trip. On a recent trip…

Another damned good book from perhaps the greatest Southern Marxist.

Emancipation Day Florida. May 20, 1865. Emancipation was proclaimed in Tallahassee on May 20, 1865, 11 days after the end of the Civil War, and two years after the Proclamation first issued by President Abraham Lincoln freed those enslaved in Southern states... reenactment in my neighborhood #historicgeorgetown #cityofsanford #floridahistory #floridaemancipationday #may201865 #southernhistory (at Historic Hopper Academy) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd1CT3jLmeM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Likely land of a former rice plantation. My specific destination does not have access by paved roads. I went to rent a kayak. Closed. 😞 #southernhistory #georgia #southernlegacy #chattelslavery (at Port Wentworth, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br5o5UwnuA5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mml8lj4jluzc

We ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ this feature on 'Walks to the Paradise Garden: A Lowdown Southern Odyssey' @bittersoutherner !! Now available in their general store!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The 2019 book, 'Walks to the Paradise Garden' follows the paths of photographers Roger Manley and Guy Mendes, and poet Jonathan Williams as they crisscrossed the South — forming friendships and becoming transformed by many the of region’s most misunderstood and beloved artists. Their work became an art exhibit @highmuseumofart in Atlanta last year and is currently on display at the @kmacmuseum As Laura Relyea traced their steps, she came to realize that they encountered something we all might need a little more of these days: “Paradise is right in front of you. It’s not some evasive, ethereal thing that you can never grasp. It is whatever you make, wherever you make it, with whatever you have on-hand.”⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ "It’s impossible to sum up all of the heartfelt passions of the artists in the pages or a gallery exhibit of 'Walks to the Paradise Garden.' But when you behold their work -it will stir-up something in you and a boundary will break. It’ll beckon you into paradise — either theirs or one of your own making.⁠⠀ It’s up to you what you do next to go find it."⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Read the full review via linkinbio.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Please order from your local independent #bookstorehero — many have reopened or offer curbside pickup!

Help save an important piece of Southern Black history. Soapstone church is the oldest black churches in the region, an historically important remnant of the large African American community of freed enslaved people that called itself Liberia, in Pickens, SC. The church site includes a slave cemetery, historic in its own right. But ruthless banks and developers are calling in the churches note in hopes of demolishing this piece of history. Mable Clarke is not having this. This is her story, her history. Her family have lived and died here. So she started a regular Fish Fry to raise funds to save the church. But time is running out. They need to raise the final amount of money the bank is demanding by the end of this year. How can you help? If you’re able to drive to Pickens SC tomorrow, Sat Aug 15th, go and eat some amazing soul food. I’ll guarantee you will not be disappointed!! Proceeds go to saving the church. Or go to the Soapstone Church gofundme page and donate. https://www.gofundme.com/f/soapstone-church-and-slave-cemetery.

𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝖉𝖎𝖘𝖈𝖔𝖑𝖔𝖚𝖗𝖆𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓 𝖔𝖋 𝖆𝖌𝖊𝖘 𝖍𝖆𝖉 𝖇𝖊𝖊𝖓 𝖌𝖗𝖊𝖆𝖙.” - Edgar Allan Poe 🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷 First published in 1839, Poe captures the musicality of melancholy from the first alliterative line of 'The Fall of the House of Usher'. We know it is gothic because it is Poe's, but he gives us clues nonetheless. "Peculiar sounds," "horror," "terror," "fear," & "unnatural sensations" are all apparent in a single glance. At its centre is a "mansion of gloom" with a "Gothic archway" &"a family evil" - familiar tropes of the gothic mode, made so, in part, by his very hand. Leaving them there, this is where we fall under the 🥀Southern Spell🥀. There is an argument the Southern Gothic as setting alone. 🤔 Do you agree? There is another stronger argument, I believe, for the presence of particular aspects, related undeniably to place, yet more than simply 'setting'; uniquely southern themes. Decline is a major theme in 'The Fall...'; the house exposes "a wild inconsistency between its still perfect adaptation of parts, and the crumbling condition of the individual stones." These "crumbling individual stones" are: mental well-being | the individual the Usher bloodline | the familial the South | the collective.
