Despite legitimate reasons for such an approach, this emphasis has limited inquiries into post-war fiction as well as our understanding of the nation's complicated identity. While the federal government and its investigative agencies may have been preoccupied with the so-called 'red menace' that threatened to spread across the planet, each region of the country already possessed major strains of Gothic fiction that focused on regional anxieties - namely of those connected to women and minorities that threatened the region's constructed identity and balance of power. The Haunted States of America shifts the focus to these Gothic strains by examining how the anxieties, fears and concerns illustrated in the works of several post-World War II writers can be best understood through regional history and identity."-- $c Provided by publisher 505 0 $a 'The Death of a Culture' : Subversion of Monstrosity in the Southern Gothic -- Hanging Women on the Hill : Exposure of Patriarchal Conformity in the New England Gothic -- Haunted Grounds of Healing : Horrors of Normativity and Genocide in the Gothic Midwest -- New York, New York ... : Greed and Abjection in the New York Gothic -- Repressed Ramonas and Braceros : Return of the Oppressed in the Southern California Gothic. 650 0 $a American fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Gothic fiction (Literary genre), American $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Horror tales, American $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 776 08 $i Print version : $z 9781786838766 830 0 $a Gothic literary studies. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230907010657.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FD775FD4010B11EEB5B5CDCD2BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
