    The road to a closed society : Mississippi politics and the language of white Southern identity -- Manhood, family, and white identity in Thomas Nelson Page's "Marse Chan" and Thomas W. Dixon's The leopard's spots -- "The South is a single, homogeneous people" : canonizing Southern history and literature -- "Mississippi's giant house party" : whiteness and community at the Neshoba County Fair

    Southerners have a reputation as storytellers, as a people fond of telling about family, community, and the southern way of life. A compelling book about some of those stories and their consequences, One Homogeneous People examines the forging and the embracing of southern & ldquo;pan-whiteness & rdquo; as an ideal during the volatile years surrounding the turn of the twentieth century.

    The Francophone Caribbean and the American South are sites born of the plantation, the common matrix for the diverse nations and territories of the circum-Caribbean. This book takes as its premise that the basic configuration of the plantation, in terms of its physical layout and the social relations it created, was largely the same in the Caribbean and the American South.

The essays focus on issues of history, language, politics and culture in various forms, notably literature, music and theatre
