Oxford American, Summer 2025
"A Magazine of the South,” Oxford American is a nonprofit quarterly which features the very best of Southern writing and highlights the vibrancy of the American South.
The Oxford American’s Summer 2025 Issue focuses on business and industry. Coined to describe Dallas’s booming financial sector, “Y’all Street” inspired our coverage of Southern industry: unique, fraught, promising, and ever-changing. “We’re borrowing the colloquial sobriquet to highlight the thriving, declining, and emerging economies throughout the South,” writes associate editor Frederick McKindra in the issue’s introductory essay.
Contributors include, among others: Michelle Orange, who reports on greyhound racing in West Virginia, the last state with active racetracks; Chris Pomorski, who talks with contract farmers working to nullify relationships with corporate poultry producers; and C. J. Bartunek, who explores land, love, and sacrifice in the inspiring story of the family-owned Moon’s Tree Farm.
