Here is a description from the publisher: Teach this book with middle and high school students with the young adult edition, We Are Not Yet Equal: Understanding Our Racial Divide by Carol Anderson and Tonya Bolden. Written in accessible language, and organized by era, text excerpts can be easily pulled from it for high school classrooms. The “unspoken truth” of the subtitle of Carol Anderson’s White Rage is that the dominant narrative of uninterrupted, albeit slow, racial progress is false.Īnderson’s book looks at five major historical episodes of Black advancement and shows, in painstaking and unimpeachable detail, how an enormous “array of policy assaults and legal contortions” - as well as brute force - “has punished Black resilience, Black resolve.”įrom Reconstruction to the election of the first Black president, Black progress has always been met with a white rage that seeks to undo, reverse, and roll-back full citizenship for African Americans.
