Race and the Politics of Fear
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-96851-3 (ISBN)
This book traces the oligarchic construction of race from its creation in the Colonial period and through a study of four major figures. James Madison helped formulate the Constitution to provide protection for the Southern oligarchies and was a founder of the Democratic-Republican party dominated by Southern interests. John C. Calhoun’s theory of the concurrent majority provided a blueprint for the South’s political strategy in the Jim Crow era. Ben Tillman redefined race primarily as a feeling as an excuse for the South’s violent oppression of the black community. Ronald Reagan retooled the traditional racist myths and made them palatable to a national audience.
Readable yet extensively documented, it is appropriate for general audiences and scholars.
J. Noel Hubler is Professor of Philosophy and Politics at Lebanon Valley College and a student of U.S. Political History and Ancient Greek Philosophy. He is the author of Overcoming Uncertainty in Ancient Greek Political Philosophy (2021), a study of the role of opinion in Greek political theory.
