Southern Obsession, Southern Delight: New Perspectives on Race and Place in Southern Literature by Warren J. Carson To Hell and Back: Race and Betrayal in the Southern Novel. By Jeff Abernathy. Athens: U of Georgia P, 2003. 222 pp. $49.95 cloth; $18.95 paper. Charles W. Chesnutt and the Fictions of Race. By Dean McWilliams. Athens: U of Georgia P, 2002. 261 pp. $39.95. Racial Politics and Robert Penn Warren’s Poetry. By Anthony Szczesiul. Gainesville: UP of Florida, 2002. 253 pp. $55.00. The southern obsession with race and place has been the sub- ject of numerous critical studies, literary works, symposia, and the like. Just how much of an obsession continues into the twenty-fi rst century is the subject of three recent works of literary criticism: Jeff Abernathy’s To Hell and Back, Anthony Szczesiul’s Racial Politics and Robert Penn War- ren’s Poetry, and Dean McWilliams’s Charles W. Chesnutt and the Fic- tions of Race. Each of these works adds appreciably to the extant reading of race in the South, but together they do much to advance our appreci- ation and deepen our understanding of race as a complex and peculiarly American institution.
