Your Heritage Will Still Remain

Delve into the intricate tapestry of identity and social change in Michael J. Goleman's compelling book, Your Heritage Will Still Remain, published by the University Press of Mississippi in 2017. Spanning 192 pages, this hardback edition explores how Mississippians—both black and white—navigated their social identities in the wake of the transformative crises from the Civil War era through the late nineteenth century.

Goleman skillfully examines the complex ways in which Mississippians perceived their roles as Americans, Confederates, or a blend of both, shedding light on the intersection of race, nationalism, and sectionalism during this tumultuous period. This insightful narrative not only highlights the historical context but also encourages readers to reflect on the lasting impacts of these identities. Ideal for history enthusiasts and scholars alike, Your Heritage Will Still Remain offers a nuanced understanding of the social conditions that shaped Mississippi.
