Abstract

Abstract:This essay traces the regional expansion of migrant economies through the case of Mexican bus companies established throughout the US South in the 1990s. It draws on familial memories, archival collections, and newspaper articles to illustrate how entrepreneurs in the transit industry expanded their businesses regionally in the late twentieth century as Mexican communities settled and grew across the US South. Specifically, the piece examines how the ruta sureña (southern route) between Houston, Texas, and Atlanta, Georgia, in this era was established by Mexican migrants and facilitated by ethnic Mexican transit entrepreneurs. The bus routes traversing this ruta sureña, alongside migrants’ lived experiences, form part of a broader Latinx South, a region with multiple historical and contemporary points of entry.

期刊介绍： In the foreword to the first issue of the The Southern Literary Journal, published in November 1968, founding editors Louis D. Rubin, Jr. and C. Hugh Holman outlined the journal"s objectives: "To study the significant body of southern writing, to try to understand its relationship to the South, to attempt through it to understand an interesting and often vexing region of the American Union, and to do this, as far as possible, with good humor, critical tact, and objectivity--these are the perhaps impossible goals to which The Southern Literary Journal is committed." Since then The Southern Literary Journal has published hundreds of essays by scholars of southern literature examining the works of southern writers and the ongoing development of southern culture.
