White Rage

In "White Rage," Carol Anderson explores the persistent forces opposing black progress in America, tracing a historical narrative from the Civil War to contemporary times. Highlighting key moments, such as the post-Civil War Black Codes and reactions to the election of the first black president, Anderson reveals the recurring themes of white backlash following African Americans' advances toward equality. This timely work adds a crucial perspective to ongoing discussions about race and structural racism in the United States.
