by Stephen Cooper Struggles over the Word: Race and Religion in O’Connor, Faulkner, Hurston, and Wright. By Timothy P. Caron. Macon, GA: Mercer UP, 2000. 162 pp. $26.95. In Struggles over the Word : Race and Religion in O’Connor, Faulkner, Hurston, and Wright, Timothy P. Caron offers fresh insights on two of the old- est themes in the study of the literature of the American South — race and re- ligion. Using the Bible as the common thread, Caron attempts to span the di- vision that Thadious Davis has described in which “whites in the South become simply ‘Southerners’ without a racial designation, but blacks in the South become simply ‘blacks’ without a regional designation.” After noting that many recent anthologies and critical studies have called for an end of this separation of region and race, Caron says, “It is time to move beyond simply calling for an integrated study of the South’s literary culture and actually begin to sketch out what the new landscape will look like.” The method he chooses to accomplish this end is to exam the Bible and “its attendant inter- pretive institutions and discourses as intertextual sources in selected white and black Southern writers.”
