Whitewashing the South is a powerful exploration of how ordinary
white southerners recall living through extraordinary racial
times-the Jim Crow era, civil rights movement, and the post-civil
rights era-highlighting tensions between memory and reality. Author
Kristen Lavelle draws on interviews with the oldest living
generation of white southerners to uncover uncomfortable memories
of our racial past. The vivid interview excerpts show how these
lifelong southerners reflect on race in the segregated South, the
civil rights era, and more recent decades. The book illustrates a
number of complexities-how these white southerners both
acknowledged and downplayed Jim Crow racial oppression, how they
both appreciated desegregation and criticized the civil rights
movement, and how they both favorably assessed racial progress
while resenting reminders of its unflattering past. Chapters take
readers on a real-world look inside The Help and an exploration of
the way the Greensboro sit-ins and school desegregation have been
remembered, and forgotten. Digging into difficult memories and
emotions, Whitewashing the South challenges our understandings of
the realities of racial inequality.
