An Ethic of the White Southern Self: The Dialectics of Historical Identity and Individual Anonymity in "Intruder in the Dust"

This article is a literary and cultural analysis of William Faulkner’s novel Intruder in the Dust. It examines how the narrative reflects the Southern white identity and the tension between historical identity (social norms, heritage) and individual anonymity (personal moral responsibility). The author discusses racial performance, whiteness as a social construct, and how characters navigate the racial structure of the American South. Faulkner’s work is interpreted as self-critical and reflective toward Southern racial politics and the instability of white identity.
