Prologue
Carol Anderson begins her book by critiquing the overall tendency to focus on "black rage" and the lack of focus its white counterpart receives. She frames "white rage" as an immaterial pervasive force which "works its way through the courts, the legislatures, and a range of government bureaucracies. It wreaks havoc subtly, almost imperceptibly. Too imperceptibly, certainly, for a nation consistently drawn to the spectacular – to what it can see. It’s not the Klan (…) Working the halls of power, it can achieve its ends far more effectively, far more destructively.” P.3
