As a way to comment on a person’s style or taste, the word ‘tacky’ has distinctly southern origins, with its roots tracing back to the so-called ‘tackies’ who tacked horses on South Carolina farms prior to the Civil War. The Tacky South presents eighteen fun, insightful essays that examine connections between tackiness and the American South.
