Thought We are in the fray of another signature moment in the long
history of the United States as a project of anti Black and
racial-colonial violence. Long before November 2016, white
nationalism, white terrorism, and white fascist statecraft
proliferated. Thinking across a variety of archival, testimonial,
visual, and activist texts-from Freedmen's Bureau documents and the
"Join LAPD" hiring campaign to Barry Goldwater's hidden tattoo and
the Pelican Bay prison strike-Dylan Rodriguez counter-narrates the
long "post-civil rights" half-century as a period of White
Reconstruction, in which the struggle to reassemble the ascendancy
of White Being permeates the political and institutional logics of
diversity, inclusion, formal equality, and "multiculturalist white
supremacy." Throughout White Reconstruction, Rodriguez considers
how the creative, imaginative, speculative collective labor of
abolitionist praxis can displace and potentially destroy the
ascendancy of White Being and Civilization in order to create
possibilities for insurgent thriving.
