1. White Rage
The book in question examines the complex history of structural racism in the United States, particularly focusing on the insidious ways in which white Americans have resisted and undermined African American progress following the Civil War. It explores the backlash against African American advancement, from the Reconstruction era through to the present day, revealing how systemic racism has been perpetuated by policies, laws, and judicial decisions. The narrative highlights the gap between America's professed ideals of equality and the stark realities of racial inequality, providing a critical analysis of the political and social mechanisms that have worked to maintain white dominance and impede black progress in America.
