Plot

The Provincials, Eli Evans's classic portrait of Jews in the South, takes readers inside the nexus between Southern and Jewish histories, from the earliest immigrants to the present day. Fully updated by the author, The Provincials brilliantly evokes the rhythms and heartbeat of Southern Jewish life. Evans intertwines his autobiography of growing up Jewish in the Bible belt with stories of communities, individuals, and events in this unfamiliar American landscape.
