White Rage Book Club Course

White Rage by Carol Anderson explores the historical patterns of systemic racism and the ways in which white resistance to African American progress has manifested throughout American history. The book provides a critical examination of the various methods employed to undermine Black advancements, including legal, political, and social strategies.

Anderson argues that whenever African Americans make progress in achieving civil rights or economic advancements, there is a corresponding backlash from white individuals and institutions seeking to maintain the status quo. The author traces this "white rage" from the Reconstruction era to the present day, revealing the persistent challenges faced by Black communities in the United States.

Through meticulous research and analysis, Anderson sheds light on lesser-known aspects of American history, exposing systemic injustices and providing readers with a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics surrounding race relations. "White Rage" serves as a thought-provoking exploration of the historical roots of racial inequality and the ongoing struggles for social justice.
