Review Quotes: "Look Away! is an important collection that expands the vocabularies and national symbol systems that scholars can deploy to think comparatively about the Americas. It is especially useful in breaking the binary between North and South that has so restricted southern literary and historical studies."--Patricia Yaeger, author of Dirt and Desire: Reconstructing Southern Women's Writing
