Critical Review #8 (questions for Kiri)

Questions for Kiri:
How do the people with whom you interacted in your fieldwork react to the term “diaspora” ?

Were the “pilgrims” at Southern conventions treated the same way as the lifelong participants? Were you considered a pilgrim? How were you treated?

Question for the class:
Kiri’s description on pages 38 and 39 of the way non-Southerners cannot differentiate between Southerners sounds awfully familiar to an Arkansan among primarily non-Southerners at Brown. Is every group lumped together before you get to know it and understand that the invented group is in fact composed of many smaller groups, which are in turn composed of smaller groups and so forth?
