- Title
TERRORIZING WHITENESS IN YOKNAPATAWPHA COUNTY.
- Authors
Paradiso, Sharon Desmond
- Abstract
This article examines concepts of whiteness and how race mixing threatens that concept in William Faulkner's fictional Yoknapatawpha County. The author refers it this as 'terrorizing whiteness,' which indicates both what is inflicted upon blacks and what potential black assimilation means to whites.
