The cultural ironies and contradictions that have arisen from southerners' efforts to commodify their identity reveal regional anxieties about consumerism, tourism, and memory. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book's first section looks at southern souvenirs as abstractions of regional culture. Essays on such topics as Confederate imagery on consumer goods and the tacky figurine known as the Horny Hillbilly unpack the often incongruous meanings bestowed on souvenirs by their owners. Locales like Branson, Missouri, and the South of the Border tourist complex in South Carolina are discussed in the second section's essays, which consider how tourist sites can both exploit and depend on local culture. Recognizing the deep cultural meanings associated with food and eating, the final group of essays looks at the Krispy Kreme doughnut franchise, the themed Baltimore eatery Café Hon, and other manifestations of southern foodways. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eViewing a region often at odds with itself on matters like race and religion, \u003ci\u003eDixie Emporium \u003c\/i\u003eidentifies spaces, services, and products that construct various Souths that exaggerate, refute, or self-consciously safeguard elements of southernness.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eANTHONY J.
