White violence in America is a hidden issue in race relations that
must be addressed before the racial impasse between black and white
can be transcended. This innovative book cites the failure to raise
this issue of white violence in the race relations debate as the
cause of the omnipresent gap in the search for a resolution to the
race problem. Serving also as an historical essay that looks at
white violence in America in its overt and secretive forms, this
book suggests that allowing history to teach us how to avoid the
mistakes of the past will make bridging the racial abyss more
probable. Contents: Introduction; In Search of a Theoretical Basis
for White Violence Against Blacks: Finding Windows of Opportunity;
Crucible of American Violence: Historical Perception; White
Violence: The Sealing of a Partnership in a Cultural Community of
Whiteness; White Violence: The Leveling Force in Race Relations;
Destructively Common: Racial Radicalism and the Era of Separate But
Equal; Images: The Ritual of Lynching; Johnny's March Home: A
Violent Perception in the Inter-War Years; Destructive Impulses:
Circumventing Brown v. Board of Education; Black Violence: A Mirror
Image of its Creator; Seeds of Destruction: The White Backlash and
an Attack on Affirmative Action; Past, Present, Future: The State
of Race Relations; Notes.
