A southern weave of women : fiction of the contemporary South

Summary: Since 1980 the South has experienced a tremendous resurgence in fiction by women - black and white, rich and poor, from the deep South and from Appalachia. This revival marks a critical stage in the development of southern literature, for it offers a revisionary, multicultural, feminist, yet still traditionally southern perspective.
