"Words and doing": the politics of silence in southern rhetoric -- "It was all routine": the trial(s) of Ruby McCollum -- Discourses of contention: punctuating McCollum's sentence(s) of silence. |
| Summary |
This groundbreaking work reads like a murder mystery, only in this case what has been killed is our American integrity and the right of an individual to a fair trial. Evans has finally addressed the pervasive silence that distorts, fragments, and threatens to bury the history of so many southern places and people. |
