Imagining Southern Spaces: Hemispheric and Transatlantic Souths in Antebellum US Writings - Dialectics of the Global
Deniz Bozkurt-Pekar
Identifying the antebellum era in the United States as a transitional setting, Imagining Southern Spacesinvestigates spatialization processes about the South during a time when intensifying debates over the abolition of slavery led to a heightened period of (re)spatialization in the region. Taking the question of abolition as a major factor that shaped how different actors responded to these processes, this book studies spatial imaginations in a selection of abolitionist and proslavery literature of the era. Through this diversity of imaginations, the book points to a multitude of Souths in various economic, political, and cultural entanglements in the American Hemisphere and the Circumatlantic. Thus, it challenges monolithic and provincial representations of the South as a provincial region distinct from the rest of the country.
