Book Synopsis


Trade Review
A determined study of the political evidence, of contemporary literature and of sociological documents. In this he has been strikingly successful. Times Literary Supplement Summarizing Sundquist's argument hardly captures the dense richness of his book. The readings turn up variation after variation on the riddling paradoxes that indenture the white Southerner to the legacies of bondage and emancipation. American Literature
