W. Ralph Eubanks’s work focuses on Race, Identity, and the Culture and Literature of the American South. We discuss his new book When It’s Darkness on the Delta: How America’s Richest Soil Became Its Poorest Land. For readers of The Sum of Us and South to America, it's an essential new look at the roots of American inequality—and the seeds of its transformation. Once the powerhouse of a fledgling country’s economy, the Mississippi Delta has been consigned to a narrative of destitution. It is often faulted for the sins of the South, portrayed as a regional backwater that willfully cleaved itself from the modern world. But buried beneath the weight of good ol’ boy politics and white-washed histories lies the Delta’s true story. https://www.wralpheubanks.com/ DON'T WORRY, BE HAPPY. https://will-cooper.com/
