TITLE: WHITE RAGE

PUBLISHED BY JULIANE

From the Civil War to the present, White Rage redefines the ongoing discussion about race in America, documenting the history of the powerful forces that oppose Black progress. Since the abolition of slavery in 1865, every time African Americans have made strides toward full participation in democracy, white backlash has fueled the reversal of any gains. By meticulously uncovering historical milestones—from the Black Codes and Jim Crow laws to expressions of white rage following the election of the first Black president—Carol Anderson makes visible the long lineage of white rage and the various names it conceals. Striking and dramatic in the story it tells, White Rage adds a vital new dimension to the conversation about race in America.
