It is also the first study to include controversial material from unpublished letters that reveals the complex and troubling nature of O'Connor's thoughts on the subject. O'Connor lived and did most of her writing in her native Georgia during the tumultuous years of the civil rights movement. In one of her letters, O'Connor frankly expresses her double-mindedness regarding the social and political upheaval taking place in the United States with regard to race: \"I hope that to be of two minds about some things is not to be neutral.\" \u003ci\u003eRadical Ambivalence \u003c\/i\u003eexplores this double-mindedness and how it manifests itself in O'Connor's fiction.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eList of Abbreviations\u003c\/i\u003e   ix\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e: Two Minds   1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1\u003c\/b\u003e \"Whiteness Visible\": Critical Whiteness Studies and O'Connor's Fiction   13\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2\u003c\/b\u003e Race, Politics, and the Double Mind: Flannery's Correspondence versus O'Connor's Fiction   36\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3\u003c\/b\u003e Theology, Religion, and Race: Constant Conversion and the Beginning of Vision   70\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4\u003c\/b\u003e \"Africanist Presence\" and the Role of Black Bodies   97\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e5\u003c\/b\u003e The Failure and Promise of Communion   125\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/i\u003e   145\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eWorks Cited\u003c\/i\u003e   149\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e   155\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52580424515864,"sku":"9780823288243","price":73.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/radical-ambivalence-race-in-flannery-oconnor-hardback-9780823288243","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
