These fresh voices, like their twentieth-century predecessors, examine what it means to be a southerner in the modern world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese writers' works cover wide-ranging subjects and themes: the history of the region, the continued problems of the working-class South, the racial divisions that have continued, the violence of the modern world, and the difficulties of establishing a spiritual identity in a modern context. The approaches and styles vary from writer to writer, with realistic, place-centered description as the foundation of many of their works. They have also created new perspectives regarding point of view, and some have moved toward the inclusion of \"\"magic realism\"\" and even science fiction in their work. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The nineteen essays in \u003ci\u003eTwenty-First-Century Southern Writers\u003c\/i\u003e feature a handful of fiction writers who are already well known, such as National Book Award-winner Jesmyn Ward, Tayari Jones, Michael Farris Smith, and Inman Majors. Others deserve greater recognition, and, in many cases, works in this anthology will be the first pieces of analysis dedicated to writers and their work. \u003ci\u003eTwenty-First-Century Southern Writers\u003c\/i\u003e aims to alert scholars of southern literature, as well as the reading public, to an exciting and varied group of writers, while laying a foundation for future examination of these works.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52600509137176,"sku":"9781496833341","price":24.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/twenty-first-century-southern-writers-new-voices-new-perspectives-paperback-softback-9781496833341","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
