About this listen

Mississippi is a state of contradictions. It is the birthplace of the blues and Elvis, yet also the epicenter of America’s ugliest battles over race and equality. It ranks last in nearly everything good, but first in cultural influence. Mud, Magnolias, and Mayhem: An Irreverent History of Mississippi takes you on a wild ride through the Magnolia State’s tangled past, from Civil War chaos and Jim Crow laws to tamale festivals, Elvis impersonators, and casino barges. With wit, grit, and a sharp eye for absurdity, this book shows how Mississippi shaped America, for better, worse, and everything in between.
