Southern Cultures Politics Issue Launch

Save the date! Were thrilled to host Kevin Kruse, Jamelle Bouie, and Nicole Hemmer in conversation to kick off our Fall politics issue, Left/Right. Guest edited by Joseph Crespino, the Left/Right issue explores and documents the many undercurrents, challenges, and paradoxes of southern political life.

Based in Charlottesville, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., Jamelle Bouie is a columnist for the New York Times and political analyst for CBS News. He covers campaigns, elections, national affairs, and culture.
