Pseudo-History versus social critique: Faulkner's reconstruction
Article Abstract:
William Faulkner was decidedly ambivalent about the status and condition of African Americans in the South despite having explored in an impressive body of fiction the gamut of race relations throughout southern history. While he acknowledges the power the African American people had gained in the nearly eight decades that had passed since the collapse of Reconstruction in 1877, he commented with the assumption that the future of the South remained in the hand of Americans.
