When I sat down to think about the opportunity to guest edit an issue of Southern Cultures, I thought immediately about the idea of home. I am the new director of the UNC Center for the Study of the American South, the physical and intellectual home of Southern Cultures, the Southern Oral History Program, and Southern Futures. It is a campus home for students, faculty, and staff interested in innovating a new generation of ideas about the meaning of the South. It is also located in the Love House on East Franklin Street, on land and on a campus that has a long and entangled history of Native dispossession, slavery, and segregation. As the first Black woman to serve as director in the Center’s thirty-year history, I could think of no more appropriate way to start a conversation than to complicate what it might mean for people to call the South home from a variety of perspectives.
