Instead of focusing solely on the visible and violent eruptions commonly referred to as \"black rage,\" Anderson meticulously unveils the less visible but equally potent forces of \"white rage\" that have systematically mitigated African American advancements since the end of the Civil War. This meticulously researched chronicle sheds light on the powerful and deliberate actions taken to undermine black progress and equality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing a sweeping arc from the Civil War to our current, highly charged socio-political landscape, Anderson recontextualises familiar historical events, providing a sharp and insightful analysis of how each step towards African American empowerment was promptly met with strategic and oppressive resistance. She begins with the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865, describing how the end of slavery was countered by the enactment of Black Codes and the establishment of Jim Crow laws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eContinuing through the mid-20th century, Anderson recounts how the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision of 1954 incited a backlash where public schools in the South were closed and segregated white private schools were funded by taxpayer dollars. She further examines the Civil Rights Movement's legislative victories—namely the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965—and how these strides were met with the Southern Strategy and the War on Drugs, policies that disenfranchised millions of African Americans and facilitated the rise of Presidents Nixon and Reagan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnderson also explores the reaction to the election of Barack Obama, America's first black president, revealing the intensification of white rage. Each historical flashpoint is meticulously linked, illustrating the ongoing, deliberate orchestration of white opposition against black progress. She peels back the layers on actions framed as upholding democracy, fiscal responsibility, or safeguarding against fraud, revealing them as calculated measures to maintain racial hierarchies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWinning the National Book Critics Circle Award and becoming a New York Times Bestseller, \u003ci\u003eWhite Rage\u003c\/i\u003e is not just an outstanding piece of historical scholarship but a critical tool for understanding the deep and persistent roots of racial inequality in America. Its dramatic recounting of unimpeachable history not only reframes our understanding of racial dynamics but also adds a crucial dimension to the ongoing national conversation about race. Carol Anderson's work illuminates the concealed, relentless nature of white rage, providing an indispensable perspective on America's racial history and its present-day implications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45707508482284,"sku":"9781632864130","price":53.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781632864130.jpg?v=1725900632"},{"product_id":"the-second-by-carol-anderson-9781526633699","title":"The Second","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA provocative look at the racial context for Americans' right to bear arms\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/em\u003e, Editor's Choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Second Amendment:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eThe right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout history, the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States has protected the right to bear arms.
