The Making Of A Racist by Charles B. Dew
A frank memoir and cultural critique in which a Southern man traces how family stories, local institutions, school lessons, church teachings, and nostalgic accounts of the Old South shaped his early assumptions about race, recounting the everyday conversations and rituals that normalized racist beliefs, the myths of benevolent paternalism and lost honor that obscured slavery’s violence, and the personal moments of doubt and moral reckoning that led him to confront and ultimately reject the inherited racism of his upbringing.
