With so much attention on the flames, ' she writes, 'everyone had ignored the kindling.' Since 1865 and the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment, every time African Americans have made advances towards full participation in our democracy, white reaction has fueled a deliberate and relentless rollback of their gains. The end of the Civil War and Reconstruction was greeted with the Black Codes and Jim Crow; the Supreme Court's landmark 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision was met with the shutting down of public schools throughout the South while taxpayer dollars financed segregated white private schools; the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 triggered a coded but powerful response, the so-called Southern Strategy and the War on Drugs that disenfranchised millions of African Americans while propelling presidents Nixon and Reagan into the White House. Carefully linking these and other historical flash points when social progress for African Americans was countered by deliberate and cleverly crafted opposition, Anderson pulls back the veil that has long covered actions made in the name of protecting democracy, fiscal responsibility, or protection against fraud, rendering visible the long lineage of white rage. Compelling and dramatic in the unimpeachable history it relates, White Rage will add an important new dimension to the national conversation about race in America."--Publisher's description 650 0 African Americans|xCivil rights|xHistory 650 0 African Americans|xPolitics and government 650 0 African Americans|xSocial conditions 650 0 Whites|zUnited States|xAttitudes|xHistory 650 0 Whites|zUnited States|xPolitics and government 650 0 Opposition (Political science)|zUnited States|xHistory 650 0 Racism|zUnited States|xHistory 650 0 Racism 650 0 Race relations 650 0 African Americans 650 0 Civil rights 650 7 Rasism|2sao 650 7 Rasrelationer|2sao 650 7 Afro-amerikaner|2sao 650 7 Medborgerliga fri- och rättigheter|2sao 650 7 Opposition (Political science)|2fast 650 7 Race relations.|2fast 650 7 Racism.|2fast 650 7 Whites|xAttitudes.|2fast 650 7 Whites|xPolitics and government.|2fast 651 0 United States|xRace relations|xHistory 651 4 Förenta staterna 651 7 United States.|2fast 653 Dawit Isaak-biblioteket 653 |5Jon|aRasism 653 |5Jon|aRasrelationer 653 |5Jon|aAfro-amerikaner 653 |5Jon|aMedborgerliga fri- och rättigheter 653 |5Jon|aHistoria 653 |5Jon|aUSA 653 |5Jon|aRacism 653 |5Jon|aRace relations 653 |5Jon|aAfrican Americans 653 |5Jon|aCivil rights 653 |5Jon|aHistory 655 7 History.|2fast
