At the heart of White Flights, Jess Row ties the movement of white Americans into segregated communities-suburbs and newly gentrified downtowns-to white writers setting their stories in isolated, emotionally insulated landscapes. As Row examines how well-known writers have sought imaginative space at the expense of engaging with race, he looks to a future in which writing might be a reparative, inclusive act. A provocative book that includes music, film, and philosophy in its arguments. White Flights is an essential work of cultural and literary criticism. Book jacket.
