Förlagets beskrivning
In this acclaimed historical study, Alexander Saxton establishes the
centrality of white racism to American politics and culture. Examining images
of race at a popular level - from blackface minstrelsy to the construction of
the Western hero, from grassroots political culture to dime novels - as well as
the philosophical constructions of the political elite, it is a powerful and
comprehensive account of the ideological forces at work in the formation of
modern America. In this historical study, Saxton asks why white racism remained an
idealogical force in America long after the need to justify slavery and Western
conquest had disappeared. It examines images of race at a popular level, from
blackfaced minstrels to dime novels.
