'Killers of the Dream' Reviewed by Berreman “Killers of the Dream" is nn at tempt to psychoanalyze the South ern people and their traditions, J. V. Berreman, professor of sociol ogy. said Tuesday night In discuss ing Lillian Smith's book in the Li brary Browsing Room at the Stu dent Union. Importance or the book was no ted by Berreman in two ways: 1. The book is written by a Southerner. 2. What the book says; It is an insight Into Southern atti tudes. Lillian Smith "aims at account ing for things the way' that they are," Berreman stated. " ‘Killers of the Dream’ " delves into the history of the South, before the Civil War and after, in order to understand the conflict Southerners arc faced with." The Southerner nas a guut com plex through contradiction:!. South ern tradition blocks honesty, the professor said in quoting Miss Smith. Segregation Break Slow The breaking of segregation is coming slowly with various move ments by Southern women. Miss Smith, according to Berreman, says that Southern women face humility In two ways: 1. Through the parental role, in which mothers must turn over the love of their children to Negro servants. 2. Through the sharing of their husbands with Negro women. For compensation, the white man has elevated the white woman to an exaggerated respect. She is an Idol that Is not loved as a human boing. Herreman stated. For revenge, the white women of the South have organized move ments for non-segregation in church, educations, and in the abo lition of "Jim ('row" laws, the professor noted. For the last IS years, the white man and the Southern tradition have been on the defense, Herreman said. The South realizes its su premacy Is gone, and the final theme of "Killers of the Dream." is this struggle to emerge from con fusion. "Segregation is the denial of the rights of human dignity," Herre man quoted Miss Smith. Communists are winning because they say, "Comrade, Just call me by my first name." Democracy should cultivate calling the Negro "Mr." instead of "Boy," llmcm^ said. 1 Discussion of Bcrreman's talk followed, directed by Miss Leona Tyler, associate professor of psy chology. Carl W. Hinlz, head of the University Library, Introduced Her reman. The talk was the sixth in the Lecture-Forum series.
