المستخلص: In times of change, individuals and whole communities feel insecure and troubled by new challenges. Despite being tied together by a common history, culture, and identity, these individuals and whole communities respond differently to the same challenges. Some revert to tradition and fall back on the past. They equate tradition and the past with safety and security. They refuse change be­ cause it means the unknown. Others choose, however, to deal with the new challenges through rejecting both tradition and the past. Tradition and the past are to them burdensome and shackling. Inspired by what is currently happening in Tunisia following its December 17th/ January 14th revolution- the division within the country between the de­ fenders of tradition and the advocators of change; between regressive reaction and modernist secularism- the present paper attempts, through looking at the cultural awakening of the American South during the 1930s and 1940s, to answer the following questions: why do people in times of crisis either revert to tradition and fall back on the past or dismiss tradition and the past and call for change instead? Why are tradition and change problematic and divisive? This paper argues, as it attempts to answer the above questions, that the South of the United States mended its divisions over tradition and change, through a cultural movement that transformed it from being a 'Sahara of the Beaux Arts' to a center of the avant-garde of American literary [production] and criticism. This paper falls into two parts. The first one explains and qualifies the societal project of the authors of I'll Take My Stand (1930). The second one exposes the anachronisms and gaps of that societal project through referring to the work of other southern authors who looked at the problems of the South from a different mirror. Inter-cultural debates- not only political ones- can indeed contribute to solving issues and mending differences among.
