Abstract

an appendix of “More Vocabulary” for future scholars to explore, which serves to further highlight the breadth and diversity of modernism. By stretching the estab- lished boundaries of modernism, A New Vocabulary for Global Modernism opens up pathways of exploration that can not only help us rethink the past, but better theorize about the present and the future. marc Keith  University of North Carolina, Greensboro Brittany Powell Kennedy, Between Distant Modernities: Performing Exceptionality in Francoist Spain and the Jim Crow South Jackson: University Press of Mississippi, 2015, 225 pp. Between Distant Modernities is the first comparative study of U. S. and Spanish lit- erature that is not a survey or a sin a u gt le- hor comparison. Brittany Powell Ken- nedy’s purpose is strongly defined from the outset: both Spain and the American South of the first half of the twentieth century were strongly traditionalist, strug- gling to maintain what they could of a p mo re- dern way of life in opposition to the destabilizing changes wrought by industrial capitalism. In the process they produced bodies of literature bearing records of the fracture that ran through families and individual lives as well as through the cornerstones
