In fl uential as its general claims have become, substantial dispute has developed over a number of the principal conclusions drawn about the cotton plantation regime and the growth of Euro-American capitalism. Complaints focus on the subordination of racism to economic accounts, as well as to alternative explanations to capitalism as the driver for the global expansion of cotton production.

The narrator of Bergsson’s Tómas Jónsson, Bestseller (1966), Tómas Jónsson, invents a surreal episode during the US Occupation of Iceland in WWII, building from the historical agreement that no Black soldiers would be stationed on the island to the government-sanctioned murder of a mixed-race baby. I relate this vignette to the scenes of lynching in Light in August (1932) and Absalom, Absalom! (1936) and the corresponding forms of toxic Whiteness and racial fanaticism revealed. Arising from different historical contexts, these examples of racial violence and exclusion to the point of nonexistence demonstrate the devastating and self-annihilating effects of Whiteness, exposing anti-Black, paternalistic, and patriarchal underpinnings to the social, political, and economic systems in Iceland and the US.","PeriodicalId":208802,"journal":{"name":"The Faulkner Journal","volume":"30 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141226305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
