Reveals affinities between antebellum southern and modern American capitalist psychology. This book identifies a calculation-obsessed, anxiety-ridden discourse in which numbers are employed to determine social and racial hierarchies and establish individual worth and identity.

A paradigm-shifting study of globalism's impact on a region legendarily resistant to change that draws on perspectives from diverse fields. It looks at the South to develop the idea of ""grounded globalism"" in which abstract global forces and local cultures rooted in history, and place reverberate against each other in mutually energizing ways.

Presents a study of region, race, and gender that reveals how we underestimate the South's influence on the formation of black masculinity at the national level. This work is filled with insights into the region's role in producing hierarchies of race and gender in and beyond their African American contexts.

Looks at works by such writers as Thomas Dixon, Erskine Caldwell, Zora Neale Hurston, William Faulkner, and Ralph Ellison to show how representations of time in southern narrative first accommodated but finally elucidated the relationship between these two political philosophies.
