Long out of print, this is the only novel set during the infamous
Atlanta race riot of 1906, in which dozens of African Americans
were killed or injured. The ""white circle"" of the book's title
delineates a realm of freedom, opportunity, and equality into which
no black person could enter. The tensions that exploded into three
days of deadly mob violence are explored through the intertwined
stories of a white journalist, a black college professor, and the
woman they both love - an artist of mixed race who chooses to pass
as white. Until the riot, Atlanta had been touted as a place where
blacks and whites lived peacefully, yet separately. Thornwell
Jacobs tries to make sense of what happened by weaving into his
story threads of thought on such issues as media sensationalism,
interracial love, social Darwinism, and class divisions within
black and white communities. This edition of ""The Law of the White
Circle"" comes with additional writings that offer alternative
perspectives on the Atlanta riot and put the novel and its
real-world events in historical and sociological context. Included
are a foreword by W. Fitzhugh Brundage, a noted historian of the
South whose scholarly interests include lynching and historical
memory; an essay by historian Paul Stephen Hudson, the recognized
authority on Thornwell Jacobs; an excerpt from ""A Man Called
White"", the autobiography of NAACP leader Walter White, whose
family lived in Atlanta at the time of the riot; and the poem ""A
Litany of Atlanta,"" composed during the riot by the renowned
African American scholar, writer, and civil rights leader W. E. B.
Du Bois.
