Race and White identity in southern fictionfrom Faulkner to Morrison /[electronic resource] :John N. Duvall. - 1st ed. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2008. - xix, 194 p. :ill.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [181]-187) and index.

White face, Black culture -- Artificial negroes, White homelessness,and diaspora consciousness -- William Faulkner, whiteface, and Black identity -- Flannery O'Connor, (G)race, and colored identity -- John Barth, blackface, and invisible identity -- Dorothy Allison, "nigger trash," and miscegenated identity -- Black writing and whiteface.

Race and White Identity in Southern Fiction explores a form of racial passing that has gone largely unnoticed. Duvall makes visible the means by which southern novelists repeatedly imagined their white characters as fundamentally black in some sense. Beginning with William Faulkner, Duvall traces a form of figurative and rhetorical masking in twentieth-century southern fiction that derives from whiteface minstrelsy. In the fiction of such subsequent writers as Flannery O'Connor, John Barth, Dorothy Allison, and Ishmael Reed, the reader sees characters who present a white face to the world, even as they unconsciously perform cultural blackness. These queer performances of race repeatedly reveal thatbeing merely Caucasian is insufficient to claim Southern Whiteness.
