- Summary:
- A New York times notable book of the year, A Washington post notable nonfiction book of the year, A Boston globe best book of 2016, A Chicago review of books best nonfiction book of 2016, Since 1865 and the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment, every time African Americans have made advances towards full participation in our democracy, white reaction has fueled a deliberate, relentless rollback of any gains. Carefully linking historical flashpoints-from the post-Civil War Black Codes to expressions of white rage after the election of America's first black president-Anderson renders visible the long lineage of white rage and the different names under which it hides. Compelling and dramatic in the unimpeachable history it relates, White Rage adds a vital new dimension to the national conversation about race in America. Book jacket.
