South in Black and White Race, Sex, and Literature in the 1940s

"Jenkins offers some perceptive analyses. Weaving between biography and history, he shows, for instance, how [W. J.] Cash sublimated anxieties about his impotence in his accounts of racial violence in the South....The trouble is that the question of race was for these writers a constant, dominating presence, and Jenkins is not articulating the unspoken here, surely, but something equally valuable. He shows how issues of race are never that far from the surface in American books, and Southern ones in particular.Jenkins, McKay is the author of 'South in Black and White Race, Sex, and Literature in the 1940s' with ISBN 9780807824917 and ISBN 0807824917.
