A prortrait of the US-south

5 Sterne

This is a book dripping in US-southern aspects. But also paints a much more complex picture of this region. One that is not of a monolith of attitudes. It still has the bad behaviors the region is known for. But shows them to be bad behaviors that one can be guilty of anywhere. It also shows those that dont engage in said behaviors. And even for those that do, to show them as more than just ill tempered people. But complete humans, rather than 2D cartoons that are easy to hate and insult.

I grew up in the US-south, and it was eerie to encounter some of this. Most of which I managed to get away from. But still odd to revisit. And to see how long it has existed.

This was written in the 50s, and works to show an accurate picture of how people spoke in the 30s in the US-south. So there are frequent uses of the n-slur, by even the main characters. Other characters use harsh or hateful language and actions that are anti-black. However, the black community within the setting are treated sympathetically. The main plot of the book is in support of a black man. It is worth knowing, and preparing for racist moments, which seem to be ways of exposing racism and its effects.

CW: anti-black racism, frequent n-slur, harm to children, abuse
