The culture of Mississippi is heavily influenced by history and geography and the overlap between the two. This book examines the history of the state and the river and the influence of those histories on their cultures. Furthermore, it examines the role of Mississippi as a leading location in various musical styles including Delta Blues, Jazz, Gospel and Rock and Roll. Literature based in Mississippi, often by natives is discussed and finally, two major cultural events: the International Ballet Competition and the Magnolia Independent Film Festival.
