White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide by Carol Anderson

informative medium-paced

4.0

Interesting & informative, but overall not particularly insightful or life-changing. The quality of the writing  isn't stellar, and I think that a book of this undertaking - tracing the white backlash to gains made by Black Americans from the Emancipation Proclamation through Obama's presidency - needs more than 160 pages. The afterword to the paperback edition was good, and the book would certainly feel very incomplete without it. That said, it was interesting to see this arc laid out over nearly 200 years of history.
