-As an introduction not only to the delta but to multiple scholarly approaches, this book might be an ideal volume for undergraduates who need to recognize the many directions scholarship can take. It is surely an excellent introduction for anyone asking definitional and scholarly questions about the Mississippi Delta.---Ted Ownby, Arkansas Historical Quarterly, Winter 2016

Janelle Collins has done a commendable job of pulling together this rich and diverse collection of essays offering seventeen different ways of conceptualizing the Delta, beginning with a geologist s description of its formation six hundred million years ago and ending with a literary historian s analysis of post-Katrina literature. While accessible enough to interest the general reader, the information gathered here will be invaluable to serious students of the Delta for years to come. Margaret Bolsterli
