Reimagining Riddick Town: Healing, Restoration, and Honor
Abstract:This interview essay highlights the experience of a Black/African American family currently navigating heirs’ property challenges in Pantego, North Carolina. This intergenerational conversation between the Riddick family historian, Lydia Whitley, and family archivist, Quay Weston, details the past, present, and future of roughly forty acres of farmland that local residents call Riddick Town. As the family works together to prevent any potential threats of land loss, this intimate conversation serves as a critical reminder of the importance of preserving sacred family spaces.
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.
