The Bloody Chasm discusses the way that one of the most controversial moments in U.S. history, the First Reconstruction period, is portrayed in the literature written at the time of the event itself, specifically short stories, novels, and literary essays. The sociopolitical and political events portrayed within are in the framework of literary theory (neo-didacticism) and cultural psychological analysis (social psychology). Many of these events deal not only with sociopolitical history but also the sexual and violent episodes found in this literature, especially the Cult of Racio-sexuality and the Cult of Violence in Southern society.
The conflict between the white supremacist type of racism and multiracial unity was a major part of the struggle between North and South after the War Against Secessionism. And since racism now exists in new forms, this book describes some of the old forms. Multiracial unity is still needed to overcome racist ideologies in all their forms. No matter how often moral idealism may be defeated in the search for a better world, it does and will win out in the end.
