S04 Episode 1: North And South Elsewhere

About South kicks off its farewell season with a trip to England where we talk to Dr. Gavan Lennon, a professor at Canterbury Christ Church University, about southern studies in the UK and Ireland. Gavan highlights the sense of solidarity those from Ireland and the UK might feel with the vibrant and productive history of African American resistance and cultural production in the U.S. South. Our guest also describes some of the problems with how white southerners use the term “Scotch-Irish” as well as the similarities between ultra-conservativism in the U.S. and Brexit in the United Kingdom. About South is produced by Gina Caison, Kelly Vines, and Adjoa Danso. Jessica Parker is an assistant producer. Music is by Brian Horton. You can find his music at Learn more at
