Issue 113, Summer 2021

The Oxford American’s Summer 2021 edition is dedicated to an exploration of Southern landscapes, waterways, borderlands, and disappearing coasts. In considering the perils and pleasure of Lake Lanier just outside Atlanta, a barrier chain of disappearing islands in the Gulf, and a series of unlikely World War II interactions in middle Tennessee, our writers ask: What is it about a space that creates feeling, memories, a history for those who occupy it?
