Leigh Anne Duck Leigh Anne Duck received her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 2000. Her first book--The Nation's Region: Southern Modernism, Segregation, and U.S. Nationalism (2006)--describes how experimental writers from 1930-1952 challenged the ideas of southern "backwardness" that undergirded U.S. racial segregation. Her research focuses on the literature and culture of the U.S. and South Africa, constructions of race and nation, psychoanalytic and postcolonial theory, and interdisciplinary approaches to narrative. Her website is available at http://umpeople.memphis.edu/lduck.
