South to America: A Journey Below the Mason-Dixon to Understand the Soul of a Nation is a 2022 book by scholar Imani Perry, published by Harper Collins.
Other parts of the book shift in focus to memoir as Perry discusses the lives of her grandmother and other family members who grew up in the South.
"[5] Writing for the Los Angeles Review of Books, Suzanne Van Atten stated that the work was "...compelling, thought-provoking read sure to spark both consensus and debate, but ultimately it serves to illustrate just how much race impacts life in this country.
"[6] For the Los Angeles Times, Carolyn Kellogg commended Perry for being able to discuss historical events, while also seamlessly supplementing the prose with personal experiences and cultural critique.
Kellogg also states that in the work, Perry was able to tell vibrant stories without being constrained by literary borders separating disciplines or genres.
