A sobering primer on the myriad ways African American resilience
and triumph over enslavement, Jim Crow and intolerance have been
relentlessly defied by the very institutions entrusted to uphold
our democracy.
*Washington Post*
[White Rage] is an extraordinarily timely and urgent call to
confront the legacy of structural racism bequeathed by white anger
and resentment, and to show its continuing threat to the promise of
American democracy.
*New York Times Book Review*
White Rage is a riveting and disturbing history that begins with
Reconstruction and lays bare the efforts of whites in the South and
North alike to prevent emancipated black people from achieving
economic independence, civil and political rights, personal safety,
and economic opportunity.
*The Nation*
An unflinching look at America's long history of structural and
institutionalized racism, White Rage is a timely and necessary
examination of white anger and aggression towards black America . .
. A compelling look at American history, White Rage has never
seemed more relevant than it does today.
