Faulkner and Racism
http://www.uni-tuebingen.de/uni/nec/KINNEY33.HTM
“But what for Faulkner is most haunting is not the communal psychology of war so much as the agonizing recognition of the exacting expenses of racism, for him the most difficult and most grievous awareness of all. Racism spreads contagiously through his works, unavoidably. Its force is often debilitating; its consequences often beyond reckoning openly. The plain recognition of racism is hardest to bear and yet most necessary to confront.”

Author: Kinney, Arthur F.
Keywords: William Faulkner, race, racism, racial issues, African-Americans
