Jeff Abernathy

Opis

Assesses cross-racial pairings in American literature to show that the pattern of engagement and betrayal appears repeatedly in fiction - notably southern fiction - just as it appears throughout American history and culture. Jeff Abernathy contends that such stories of companionship and rejection express a persistent vision of democracy and the racial hierarchy that undermines it.
