This book examines the ways in which the histories of racial
violence, from slavery onwards, are manifest in representations of
the body in twenty-first-century culture set in the US South.
Christopher Lloyd focuses on corporeality in literature and film to
detail the workings of cultural memory in the present. Drawing on
the fields of Southern Studies, Memory Studies and Black Studies,
the book also engages psychoanalysis, Animal Studies and
posthumanism to revitalize questions of the racialized body. Lloyd
traces corporeal legacies in the US South through novels by Jesmyn
Ward, Kathryn Stockett and others, alongside film and television
such as Beasts of the Southern Wild and The Walking Dead. In all,
the book explores the ways in which bodies in contemporary southern
culture bear the traces of racial regulation and injury.
