Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Look Away! considers the U.S. South in relation to Latin America and the Caribbean. Given that some of the major characteristics that mark the South as exceptional within the United Statesincluding the legacies of a plantation economy and slave tradeare common to most of the Americas, Look Away! points to postcolonial studies as perhaps the best perspective from which to comprehend the U.S. South. At the same time it shows how, as part of the United States, the Southboth center and margin, victor and defeated, and empire and colonycomplicates ideas of the postcolonial. The twentytwo essays in this comparative, interdisciplinary collection rethink southern U.S. identity, race, and the differences and commonalities between the cultural productions and imagined communities of the U.S. South and Latin America.Look Away! presents work by respected scholars in comparative literature, American studies, and Latin American studies. The contributors analyze how writersincluding the Martinican Edouard Glissant, the CubanAmerican Gustavo Prez Firmat, and the Trinidadborn, British V. S. Naipaulhave engaged with the southern United States. They explore William Faulkners role in Latin American thought and consider his work in relation to that of Gabriel Garca Mrquez and Jorge Luis Borges. Many essays reexamine major topics in southern U.S. culturesuch as race, slavery, slave resistance, and the legacies of the pastthrough the lens of postcolonial theory and postmodern geography. Others discuss the South in relation to the U.S.Mexico border. Throughout the volume,the contributors consistently reconceptualize U.S. southern culture in a way that acknowledges its postcolonial status without diminishing its distinctiveness.Contributors.
