Description
In this incisive work, Carol Anderson traces how “white rage” has shaped American politics, culture, and law—fueling resistance to racial equality and sustaining systems of exclusion. Through a sweeping historical lens, she examines the forces that turn fear and resentment into policy, from the aftermath of Reconstruction to the modern era, revealing how backlash can become a governing strategy. The book explores themes of power, racial ideology, and the long arc of civil rights, showing how public narratives and institutional decisions reinforce one another. Anderson’s sharp, research-driven style makes the argument both urgent and accessible, offering readers a clear framework for understanding the roots—and consequences—of racial conflict in the United States.
