The array of sharply debated themes in Faulkner and the Native South reveals the value of Faulkner studies as a vital path of inquiry.--Anne C. MacMaster, Millsaps College "Mississippi Quarterly, Vol. 70/71, No. 3" Stemming from the 2016 Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha conference of the same title, Faulkner and the Native South makes a cogent, illuminating, and timely contribution to the distinct but overlapping fields of southern studies and Native studies. Published in a moment of rising nativism, the collection gives readers a valuable opportunity to reflect on the history of those who are truly indigenous to the region about which William Faulkner wrote.--Greg Chase, College of the Holy Cross "Journal of Southern History, Volume 86, Number 2, May 2020"
