520    "This fierce collection celebrates the incredible 
       diversity in the contemporary South by featuring essays by
       twenty-one of the finest young writers of color living and
       working in the region today, who all address a central 
       question: Who is welcome? Kiese Laymon navigates the 
       racial politics of publishing while recording his 
       audiobook in Mississippi. Regina Bradley moves to Indiana 
       and grapples with a landscape devoid of her Southern 
       cultural touchstones, like Popeyes and OutKast. Aruni 
       Kashyap apartment hunts in Athens and encounters a 
       minefield of invasive questions. Frederick McKindra delves
       into the particularly Southern history of Beyonce's black 
       majorettes. Assembled by editor and essayist Cinelle 
       Barnes, essays in A Measure of Belonging: Writers of Color
       on the New American South acknowledge that from the DMV to
       the college basketball court to doctors' offices, there 
       are no shortage of places of tension in the American 
       South. Urgent, necessary, funny, and poignant, these 
       essays from new and established voices confront the 
       complexities of the South's relationship with race, 
       uncovering the particular difficulties and profound joys 
       of being a Southerner in the 21st century"--|cProvided by
