OXFORD, Miss. – A scholarly movement addressing the impact
\nof globalization on Southern societies around the world continues at
\nthe University of Mississippi with the research journal The Global
\nSouth beginning its third year of publication.
\n

The interdisciplinary journal, started in 2007 by faculty in UM’s
\nDepartment of English, is published once each semester by Indiana
\nUniversity Press. It focuses on how world literatures and cultures
\nrespond to globalization.<\/p>\n

\nThe journal’s editor, Adetayo
\nAlabi, UM associate professor of English who teaches courses in
\nCaribbean, African and African-American literatures, said the
\nuniversity is the ideal locale for the journal’s headquarters.\n<\/p>\n

“Being a major university in the South, we’re located where the
\naction is,” Alabi said. “Also, having the Center for the Study of
\nSouthern Culture here on campus fits very well with what we do. The two
\nentities complement each other well.”<\/p>\n

\n“Having The Global South (journal) here has helped put the
\nuniversity at the center of an important scholarly movement that
\nstudies the American South from multiple and transitional
\nperspectives,” said Ted Ownby, CSSC director. “Taking a global
\nperspective is part of a movement that involves new conferences, new
\ncourses and new ways of teaching, along with some inspired and exciting
\nrecent scholarship.”\n<\/p>\n

\nAddressing such themes as the environment, poverty, immigration,
\ngender, race, hybridity, cultural formation and transformation,
\ncolonialism and post-colonialism, and transatlantic encounters, the
\njournal has experienced rapid readership growth. Each peer-reviewed
\nvolume logs approximately 1,700 subscribers to either its online or
\nprint version.\n<\/p>\n

\n“Since assuming sole editorship of The Global South, Professor
\nAlabi has kept the journal on the cutting edge of academic
\nscholarship,” said Ivo Kamps, UM chair and professor of English.\n<\/p>\n

\nOther members of the journal’s staff include Assistant Professor
\nof English Sarah Lincoln, who serves as assistant editor, and graduate
\nassistant James Christopher O’Brien of Memphis, who works as an
\neditorial assistant.\n<\/p>\n

\nAdvisory editorial board members include faculty at the
\nUniversity of New South Wales, University of London, University of
\nMacau, University of Nottingham, Delhi University, University of
\nWollongong and University of Western Australia, as well as those at
\nseveral state and private universities in the United States.\n<\/p>\n

\nAlabi said that from the North American South to the European
\nSouth, Latin and Central America, Africa, Asia and Australia, the
\nvarious Souths share comparable experiences that differentiate them
\nfrom mainstream cultures.
\n“Findings indicate that while expansion and trade are generally
\nbeneficial for those living outside the South, those in the South don’t
\nalways get the best of the pie,” he said.\n<\/p>\n

\nFor example, globalization directs mass production of items
\nmanufactured by various industries, a change that usually causes the
\nproduction of materials indigenous to the local citizenry to
\nsignificantly dwindle, Alabi said. In another instance, the influx of
\ntextiles from China into Nigeria has adversely affected that country’s
\nown textile industry.\n<\/p>\n

\n“The research shows that many of the Souths have not had a
\ncompletely positive experience of globalization,” Alabi said. “While
\nthey may not necessarily share a common wealth, they do intersect over
\nvarious issues of marginalization and inadequate access to means of
\nproduction and amenities under globalization.”\n<\/p>\n
