Ben Waber reviewed White Rage by Carol (Carol Elaine) Anderson

A Focused, Painful Tour through US History

5 stars

This book rings even more true in 2025, as Anderson devastatingly works through US history to show how white abhorrence of Black progress has been one of the fundamental driving forces of domestic US policy throughout the centuries. Importantly, this book strips away the faux-neutrality of post-Civil Rights policies in government and beyond, revealing the unfairness baked deep within their core. With Cassandra-like foresight, this book also progresses to 2016, with Anderson illustrating what systematic forces need to finally be addressed to bring about a fairer country. Highly recommend
