Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC ISBN: 9781526631640 Number of pages: 304 Weight: 214 g Dimensions: 198 x 129 mm MEDIA REVIEWS 'Brilliant' ROBIN DIANGELO, AUTHOR OF WHITE FRAGILITY 'An extraordinarily timely and urgent call to confront the legacy of structural racism' NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW 'Beautifully written and exhaustively researched' CHIMAMANDA NGOZI ADICHIE Compelling and dramatic in the history it relates, White Rage adds a vital new dimension to the conversation about race in America. Since the abolishment of slavery in 1865, every time African Americans have made advances towards full democratic participation, white reaction has fuelled a rollback of any gains.Ĭarefully linking historical flashpoints - from the post-Civil War Black Codes and Jim Crow to expressions of white rage after the election of America's first black president - Carol Anderson renders visible the long lineage of white rage and the different names under which it hides. From the Civil War to our combustible present, White Rage reframes the continuing conversation about race in America, chronicling the history of the powerful forces opposed to black progress.
