20TH CENTURY ALABAMA AUTHORS.
Author: Alabama Getaway
Author: Allen TullosPublisher: University of Georgia Press
ISBN: 082033961X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 380
Book Description
In Alabama Getaway Allen Tullos explores the recent history of one of the nation's most conservative states to reveal its political imaginary—the public shape of power, popular imagery, and individual opportunity. From Alabama's largely ineffectual politicians to its miserly support of education, health care, cultural institutions, and social services, Tullos examines why the state appears to be stuck in repetitive loops of uneven development and debilitating habits of judgment. The state remains tied to fundamentalisms of religion, race, gender, winner-take-all economics, and militarism enforced by punitive and defensive responses to criticism. Tullos traces the spectral legacy of George Wallace, ponders the roots of anti-egalitarian political institutions and tax structures, and challenges Birmingham native Condoleezza Rice's use of the civil rights struggle to justify the war in Iraq. He also gives due coverage to the state's black citizens who with a minority of whites have sustained a movement for social justice and democratic inclusion. As Alabama competes for cultural tourism and global industries like auto manufacturing and biomedical research, Alabama Getaway asks if the coming years will see a transformation of the “Heart of Dixie.”
The Remembered Gate

ISBN: 0817350543
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
In The Remembered Gate, nationally prominent fiction writers, essayists, and poets recall how their formative years in Alabama shaped them as people and as writers. The essays range in tone from the pained and sorrowful to the wistful and playful, in class from the privileged to the poverty-stricken, in geography from the rural to the urban, and in time from the first years of the 20th century to the height of the Civil Rights era and beyond.
Many Voices, Many Rooms
Author: Philip D. BeidlerPublisher: University Alabama Press
ISBN: 9780817309046
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This treasury of Alabama fiction showcases the rich literary heritage of the state. Many Voices, Many Rooms: A New Anthology of Alabama Writers is a companion volume to the extremely popular Art of Fiction in the Heart of Dixie: An Anthology of Alabama Writers. The earlier work is now a classic in its own right, but no single volume can do justice to the wealth and variety of Alabama fiction. Adding to the bounty, this new anthology contains works by important 19th- and early 20th-century writers, as well as by more familiar post-World War II and contemporary Alabama authors. Like the earlier volume, it contains works by both men and women writers, by writers of diverse racial origins, and by writers representing the various geographical regions of the state. Containing no authors included in the earlier volume, this new anthology fills in the spaces old and new in a vast field of many talented Alabama writers.
