Ce livre rassemble un groupe de femmes intéressées par la région qu'elles habitent physiquement ou mentalement. Tous recherchent une langue qui représentera avec précision leurs expériences de vie, que ce soit dans une plantation éloignée en Géorgie d'avant-guerre ou dans une institution de l'Alabama pour les criminellement fous. Ce livre contient des essais critiques sur les écrits autobiographiques des femmes du sud du passé et du présent, et des femmes bien connues telles que Mary Chesnut, Fanny Kemble et Alice Walker, à celles moins connues comme Kate Stone. Les auto-narratifs critiqués dans ce volume se propulsent eux-mêmes et leurs auteurs au centre des débats critiques concernant le statut du sujet, la nature de l'auto-représentation, la mondialisation des hybrides régionales, culturelles, et les négociations et compromis nécessaires à la coexistence. Lisez à travers des lentilles théoriques, leurs textes cartographient de nouveaux espaces de représentation, des corps alternatifs (textuels) et des réinventions de catégories telles que « région », « race » et « femmes ».

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. This book brings together a group of women interested in, even consumed by, the region they inhabit physically or mentally. All of them search for a language that will accurately represent their life experiences, whether at a remote plantation in antebellum Georgia or in an Alabama institution for the criminally insane. This book contains critical essays on the autobiographical writings of southern women from the past and present, and women well-known such as Mary Chesnut, Fanny Kemble and Alice Walker, to those less well-known such as Kate Stone. The self-narratives critiqued in this volume propel themselves and their authors to the center of critical debates concerning the status of the subject, the nature of self-representation, the globalization of the regional, cultural hybridities, and the negotiations and compromises required for co-existence. Read through theoretical lenses, their texts map new representational spaces, alternative (textual) bodies, and reinventions of categories such as "region", "race", and "women".
