Southern Exposure is a captivating novel by Stetson Kennedy that explores the complexities of race relations in the American South during the 1940s. The story revolves around a young journalist named Adam Cramer who is sent to a small town in Georgia to investigate the KKK's activities in the area. As he delves deeper into the community, Adam begins to uncover a web of corruption, violence, and racial tension that threatens to tear the town apart.Through vivid descriptions and compelling characters, Kennedy paints a vivid picture of life in the South during a tumultuous period in American history. He tackles sensitive topics such as segregation, lynching, and the struggle for civil rights with honesty and sensitivity, making this book a powerful and thought-provoking read.Overall, Southern Exposure is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of race relations in the United States.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Southern Exposure does not pretend to present a complete or altogether pleasing view of the South. Some Defender-of-the South has observed, It is possible to become so concerned over the plight of the sharecropper as to forget how the good earth smells at dawn et cetera. I know this to be true from personal experience. But it seems to me that the sharecroppers plight deserves priority over the earths smell. Perhaps one reason why I have written this book is to enable me to inhale the South svaried smells with a clear conscience. No one could appreciate moonlight and magnolias more than I; but the South has had more than its share of literature on that theme, and under the circumstances, I for one am not inclined to provide more. Suffice it to say that I am attached to my birthplace and home; I like much of what the South is, and still more of what it is to be. ..
