Unsteadily Marching On: The US South in Motion. Ed. Constante González Groba.
Colección Javier Coy. Publicacions dela Universitat de València, 2013. ISBN
978-84-370-9156-3

This collection encompasses a rich variety of approaches to the
complex negotiations of southerners with change and motion, as
reflected in the literature, history and culture of this very
distinctive region. Contributors from both sides of the Atlantic
address inward journeys of literary pilgrims, shed new light on the
history of the civil rights movement as well as its reflection in
literature, analyze transactions from literature to film, trace
religious peregrinations in both history and literature, and follow a
number of literary authors and characters on their journeys through
the South or on their forced or voluntary flight from it,in search of
other places where they can find refuge or sow the seeds of new
beginnings.
