White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Split up is a 2016 nonfiction book by Emory Academy Professor Carol Anderson, who was contracted to write the book after reactions to an op-ed that she had written for The Washington Post in 2014.[ii]
Summary [edit]
Anderson details her thesis of white backfire in the United states[i] and states that structural racism has brought near white anger and resentment. Her analysis of American history is that whenever African Americans gained social power, there was considerable backfire. She describes the Jim Crow era as a reaction to the finish of the American Civil War and to the Reconstruction era. She further describes the shutdown of schools in response to the Brown v. Board of Education, ruling of the Use Supreme Court and the opposition to the Voting Rights Deed of 1965 as causes of the Southern Strategy and the State of war on Drugs, which she says were both attempts to disenfranchise blackness voters.[3]
Reception [edit]
