Sinopse

Deep Denial explains why race is still with us, and what the Civil Rights Movement can tell us about today.Part I takes a broad historical view, from seventeenth century Virginia through World War II., examining the origins of white supremacy as a structural feature of US society and describing its evolution over time.Part II features the Civil Rights Movement, how it emerged in the post-WWII era, how the struggle was waged in the 1950s and &lsquo,60s, and how it subsequently devolved from a vibrant community-led, issue-based movement to a bureaucratic, government-sponsored, needs-based nonprofit industry that remains with us today.Each chapter begins with an intimate and unsparingly personal account from the author&rsquo,s own life. After drawing the reader into his topic, he lays out the historical facts, while still retaining the master storyteller&rsquo,s sense of engagement with the reader.
