Book Description
The second volume of Georgia Voices--a three-volume anthology highlighting the achievements of Georgia writers in fiction, nonfiction, and poetry--is a fascinating collection of essays, letters, diary entries, and speeches. Including selections by African Americans, women, and Native Americans, the anthology reflects the diversity of voices and experiences throughout the history of the state. Spanning more than two and a half centuries--from Georgia's colonial beginnings to the recent decades of social struggle and technological change--the collection explores key themes in southern life as they have unfolded within the context of Georgia's growth and development: the struggle of early settlers against the wilderness; the plight of the Cherokee and the Creek; slavery and emancipation; war and defeat; reconstruction; the struggle toward and against modernity; the civil rights movement; the contemporary South; and the global community. The writings gathered here present a dramatic story--often sad or comic, frequently moving, and on occasion ennobling. Taken together, these writings tell not one story of Georgia but many, sometimes conflicting stories. They are as exciting, heartrending, and vividly striking as any fictional account could be--from the plea by Cherokee Elias Boudinot before the Georgia legislature for his people to be allowed to remain on their native lands to Mary A. H. Gay's remarkable story of her courageous trek through enemy lines on the eve of the fall of Atlanta, from Alice Walker's struggle to understand her regional heritage to humorist Roy Blunt, Jr.'s discourse on the virtues and comic paradoxes of southern life.

Book Description
Since the early nineteenth century, Georgia has produced an impressive number of distinguished fiction writers, from Joel Chandler Harris, Sidney Lanier, Flannery O'Connor, and Carson McCullers to such present-day voices as Alice Walker, James Dickey, and Pat Conroy. Containing thirty-nine stories and excerpts from novels, this first volume reveals a literary legacy as rich as any the country has produced. Humorous and tragic, nostalgic and cynical, romantic and realistic, the writings gathered here represent the full range of fiction that has emerged from the state's talented writers. Over the years Georgians have written about the themes and subjects that have inspired writers across history and throughout the world: family, war, hardship, ambition, love, death, change, the search for knowledge and meaning. As Hugh Ruppersburg notes in his introduction, however, the state has provided its writers with a distinct history, culture, and sense of place. Georgia's frontier and agricultural past, its Civil War experience, the rise of its cities and industries and the subsequent decline of rural traditions, and the civil rights movement have all played a part in shaping its distinctive literary landscape. Georgia Voices is a three-volume anthology highlighting the impressive achievements of Georgia writers in fiction, nonfiction, and poetry.
