The Lying Tears of White Women in American History

The Lying Tears of White Women in American History explores how white women have historically used their perceived innocence to influence violence, uphold white supremacy, and manipulate systems, from slavery to the modern digital age. Combining research, cultural analysis, and contemporary examples, the book examines the profound impact of these dynamics on events like lynchings and court outcomes, and traces the roots of phenomena such as the "Karen" phenomenon. It offers a critical look at the myth of white womanhood and what is needed to create a more truthful and equitable future.
