Оглавление

Most Mississippians like to think of themselves as the last of the semi-rugged individualists. Some of them may be. But the majority are bred to the bone with conformity and anti-intellectualism. They like to think they are “rebels,” but they grow up in and are nurtured by an authoritarian society in which there have not been very many rebels at all since the earth’s very first Scotch-Irish, Adam and Eve. Indeed, the young men—and women—of my time would not have thought it strange in the least to say “Yassuh” to a fence post.
