The Even Stranger Career of Jim Crow: Sin, Sex, and Segregation in Lillian Smith’s Silent South
2015
Overview
According to the opinions in Isenstadt, whether panderingly attractive or unduly repellent, words in the novel do in fact move beyond the limits of what language ought to do to people.8 Far from being the biased observations of a group of robed censors, however, these complementary perspectives on the effectiveness of Smith's language are shrewdly attentive to the quasiperformative functions her texts emphatically ascribe to words.
