Abstract

Abstract:

The histories of two families are examined to explore how African Americans remained attached to the American South during the Great Migration—the mass migration of African Americans out of the American South during the first half of the twentieth century. These continued attachments are described as habitual return, the ritualized practice of African Americans' frequent returns to the South. Weaving together family history and archival documents, the concept of habitual return illuminates the region as more than a place to flee from, as it remains the cultural home of countless African American families.

摘要：通过研究两个家庭的历史，探讨在大移民--20 世纪上半叶非裔美国人大规模迁出美国南方--期间，非裔美国人如何保持对美国南方的依恋。这些持续的依恋被描述为习惯性回归，即非洲裔美国人频繁返回南方的仪式化做法。习惯性回归的概念将家庭历史和档案文件交织在一起，揭示了该地区不仅仅是一个逃离之地，它仍然是无数非裔美国人家庭的文化家园。

期刊介绍： In the foreword to the first issue of the The Southern Literary Journal, published in November 1968, founding editors Louis D. Rubin, Jr. and C. Hugh Holman outlined the journal"s objectives: "To study the significant body of southern writing, to try to understand its relationship to the South, to attempt through it to understand an interesting and often vexing region of the American Union, and to do this, as far as possible, with good humor, critical tact, and objectivity--these are the perhaps impossible goals to which The Southern Literary Journal is committed." Since then The Southern Literary Journal has published hundreds of essays by scholars of southern literature examining the works of southern writers and the ongoing development of southern culture.
