What is Harper Lee and the American South : white liberalism and the civil rights struggle in Harper Lee's Go set a watchman about?

'Harper Lee and the American South' follows the publication of 'Go Set a Watchman' and the controversy surrounding the book. In this pamphlet, Katie Hamilton provides an overview of Lee's life and literary career, placing 'Go Set a Watchman' and the earlier 'To Kill a Mockingbird' in their cultural, political and literary contexts. 'Go Set A Watchman' was one the most widely anticipated releases of recent years, and in North America it went on to become the fastest-selling book in HarperCollins's history, with more than 1.1 million sales in its first week alone. It made headlines around the world due to its unexpectedly controversial treatment of Mockingbird's hero, the liberal small-town lawyer, Atticus Finch. In Watchman, Atticus, one of the most beloved characters in print, is represented as a segregationist, rather than the 'white knight' defender of African American civil rights and justice for all that he is in Mockingbird..
