Given that some of the major characteristics that mark the South as exceptional within the United States - including the legacies of a plantation economy, slave trade, and military defeat - are common to most of the Americas, Look Away! points to postcolonial studies as perhaps the best perspective from which to comprehend the U.S. South. At the same time it shows how, as part of the United States, the South - both centre and margin, victor and defeated, and empire and colony - complicates ideas of the postcolonial. The twenty-two essays in this comparative, interdisciplinary collection rethink southern U.S. identity, race, and the differences and commonalities between the cultural productions and imagined communities of the U.S. South and Latin America.
