From the Piedmont to the Lowcountry, South Carolina is the site of countless engaging stories. The contributors to Carolina Currents share those stories, broadening our understanding of the state's unique and diverse histories and cultures. A venue for public-facing interdisciplinary scholarship, each volume presents a collection of essays that illuminate the complex interactions between the state's past and present.

Essays in volume 3 explore the relationship between travel and resistance as exemplified by South Carolina's Green Book businesses; the complexities of race, religion, and criminal justice in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; and campus–community connections at rural-serving colleges. Also included are an interview with novelist Lynn Kostoff and a review essay highlighting new books by South Carolina poets.
