• W2897257115 abstract "ANGELA HATTERY Wake Forest University EARL SMITH Wake Forest University Cultural Contradictions in the South We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. (Thomas Jefferson, TheunanimousDeclarationofthethirteenUnited States of America IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776) Paraphrasing the words of Dick Gregory, Thomas F. Lambert, Jr., said, “In the South, people don’t care how close the Negroes get to them. After all, white babies are given suckle by Negro women. They just don’t want them to get too high. In the North, there is a different brand of racial prejudice. We don’t care how high Negroes climb in life. We just don’t want them to get too close.” (Cohen and Cohen 181) Introduction ALL REGIONS OF THE COUNTRY, ALL CULTURAL AND RELIGIOUS GROUPS, ALL social groups that become institutionalized, are filled with certain contradictions. The South is no exception. The purpose of this paper is to examine some of the cultural contradictions of the South, especially those associated with race, and the role that individuals who crossed these racial barriers played in ensuring the maintenance and policing of these barriers through the development of hegemonic racial ideologies that demanded particular social policies of exclusion. The South The South has a particular, specific, social, economic, and political history that is intimately tied with race. The cultural contradictions of the South are especially powerful and many are organized around and connected to race in ways that are both interesting and contradictory, yet because they have been woven into the social fabric of the South for generations they are often invisible to all but the most astute social observer. Furthermore, the South has long struggled with how to control and police a variety of intimate relationships that cross racial lines, including sexual relationships (Jordan). 146 Angela Hattery and Earl Smith Scholars in many disparate disciplines, but especially history and literature, have long focused on the Southern region of the United States. Sociologists have come rather late to focusing on the intricacies of this particular region, though in the past decade or so much attention has been focused on the South by sociologists who study race, poverty, and politics. Although we are sociologists, we are well aware that Southern literature—includingliteraturespecifictoAfricanAmericans—through the work of Southern writers—past and present—has provided us with a critical lens with which to view the contradictions of this interesting region. For example, we point to the work by scholars in these disciplines who had the courage to continually challenge the conventional wisdom about race and the South that was constructed exclusively by white scholars and white voices—a dangerous, but necessary, enterprise according to Martha Hodes—while the voices and experiences of African Americans were rendered invisible. We note the work by historians such as John Hope Franklin and Lerone Bennett, scholars of literature such as Toni Morrison and Betina Entzminger, and more recently in sociological research, the work of Orlando Patterson. African American writers, too, especially the giants among them such as Ralph Ellison and Toni Morrison, delve into the established and stereotypical roles required of blacks and whites in the Deep South—the region of the country that defined and defines African American Civil Society, long before the Great Migrations—North (Lemann)—for much of the history of the United States. Embedded in these roles is a set of relationships between blacks and whites and it is inside these relationships that so many cultural contradictions arise; Ellison and Morrison among other provide a corrective to a “whites only” perspective on these relationships. Suzan Harrison draws her analysis from the context of an opaque racial conciliation in the work of Eudora Welty that allowed the continued existence of the status quo, including the particular way of writing about the murder of Civil Rights leader Medgar Evers, who was killed by Byron de la Beckwith in Jackson, Mississippi, on June 12, 1963, as he stood in the driveway of his home in such as manner as to minimize conflict. Harrison, quoting Linda Orr, put it thus: Arguing..." @default.
