The Southern Place and Racial Politics

Abstract

The political changes that have rocked the United States over the last few decades are profound. In other work I have argued that a central dimension of a right-wing movement in American political life has revolved around the perception among many white people that because of the Civil Rights Movement and social policies such as affirmative action, the real victims of racism in America in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries are white people, white men in particular.
