Description
Joy Jordan-Lake examines the ways in which antebellum women novelists tried to counter Harriet Beecher StoweÃs enormously popular Uncle Tom's Cabin by preaching a ìtheology of whitenessî from within the pages of the books - but were ultimately undermined by their own proslavery agendas. Including a discussion of twentieth- and twenty-first-century novels that revisit plantation mythology, Whitewashing Uncle Tom's Cabin casts new light on the ethical and moral disaster of securing one groupÃs economic strength at the expense of other groupsà access to dignity, compassion, and justice.
