USC Lancaster Assistant Professor of History Dr. F. Evan Nooe’s "Aggression & Sufferings: Settler Violence, Native Resistance and the Coalescence of the Old South" offers a bold reconceptualization of how the violence of settler expansion and Native American resistance remade the American South. Flipping the anthropological model of coalescence onto white Southerners reveals the development of a distinct regional identity forged through southern concepts of honor, Native defiance to forced removal and the memorialization of settler victimhood.
