Abstract:
William Forstchen’s novel “One Second After” focuses on a fictional post-apocalyptic event that takes place in Black Mountain, North Carolina. After an electromagnetic pulse devastates the entire United States, the small town reverts to a militaristic, patriarchal society that secludes itself from the rest of the world. Amende notes the “Southern” traditions that the town leaders continuously attribute to their success of survival: Christian political and religious beliefs, military values, and keeping away “outsiders”.

Abstract:
Charles W. Chestnutt was one of the few African Americans to make their way into the white publishing circuit. His work was highly critical of white abuse and power struggle of the South, which Baggett argues is the reason his work was not as far-reaching or successful as Booker T. Washington, another highly regarded African American writer at time.
