Page xiii Preface This book is an outgrowth both of reading I have done in the Puritan conversion narrative of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries and of my own earlier work in southern literature and intellectual history. In Tell About the South: The Southern Rage to Explain, I treated at length two broad groups of white southern writers divided largely over the issue of racegroups I termed the southern party of remembrance and the party of shame and guilt. Over the course of my research for Tell About the South, I noticed that a number of white southerners in the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s had written books, either autobiographies or very personal social commentaries (or both), in which they attempted to come to terms with racial guilttheir own and their region's. In that study I was able to treat only two of those writers, Lillian Smith and James McBride Dabbs, and Smith and Dabbs more briefly than I would like liked. An invitation from the Department of History at Louisiana State University to deliver the Walter Lynwood Fleming Lectures in April 1998as well as a leave of absence in the fall of 1997 from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hillgave me an opportunity to examine more fully Smith, Dabbs, and a number of other white southerners who wrote what I came to call racial conversion narratives.
