| Publisher Description: This collection of essays represents a large-scale attempt to characterize the long-neglected Arkansas Delta. The historical, social, economic, geographic, and cultural issues the authors address make it abundantly clear that the Delta--long thought to be a land of relative stasis--is actually changing quite rapidly. It is clear, too, that this strange land is filled with haunting contradictions. Winner of the 1994 Virginia C. Ledbetter Prize |
