Race and White Identity in Southern Fiction

White southern writers are frequently associated with the racism of blackface minstrelsy in their representations of African American characters, however, this book makes visible the ways in which southern novelists repeatedly imagine their white characters as in some sense fundamentally black.

John N. Duvall is Professor of English and Editor of Modern Fiction Studies at Purdue University.
