White supremacy shaped all aspects of post-Civil War southern life, yet its power was never complete or total. These essays bring to life the southern men and women–some heroic and decent, others mean and sinister, most a mixture of both–who supported and challenged Jim Crow, showing that white supremacy always had to prove its power. For example, even as some black and white women launched the strongest attacks on the system, other white women nurtured myths glorifying white supremacy. Even as elite whites blamed racial violence on poor whites, they used Jim Crow to dominate poor whites as well as blacks. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)Subject
