Plantation Airs : Racial Paternalism And The Transformations Of Class In Southern Fiction, 1945-1971
Attribution
Brannon CostelloPublication Details
BookLouisiana State University Press2007Links
Description
Focusing on the relationship between racial paternalism and social class in American novels written after World War II, Costello asserts that well into the twentieth century, attitudes and behaviors associated with an idealized version of agrarian antebellum aristocracy–especially, those of racial paternalism–were believed to be essential for white southerners. Fiction by Zora Neale Hurston, Eudora Welty, William Faulkner, Ernest Gaines, Walker Percy, and others reveals, however, that the racial paternalism central to class formation and mobility in the South was unraveling in the years after World War II, when the civil rights movement and the South’s increasing industrialization dramatically altered southern life.
