See the Lights
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: As the site of the forced displacement and mass murder of indigenous peoples, the region that unabashedly carried out the horrors of slavery then later enforced Jim Crow laws, and the place where the land itself is quarried to meet the energy consumption needs of an entire nation, the American South has left its people in the wake of its atrocities. In response, many of the people of this region have had to come together, fend for themselves in resourceful ways, and, often, construct their own happy endings. SEE THE LIGHTS includes loosely-linked short stories exploring the shifting borders between friends, lovers, municipalities and histories all set in relationship to the haunted region of the American South and its dark history.
