Synopsis
This book examines the power struggle between white and black Americans during and after the Civil War to reveal the entrenched racial inequality at the heart of the American experiment. The author argues that the continuation of racial segregation and hierarchy in the South, despite the abolition of slavery and the passage of civil rights legislation, was not only a betrayal of the nation's founding principles but also a self-inflicted wound on the white Southern elite. Drawing on historical evidence, the author contends that the South's refusal to fully integrate African Americans into society deprived the region of their potential contributions, stifled its economic growth, and perpetuated a cycle of racial tension that continues to haunt the nation today.

About the Author
Cable was one of the greatest and most celebrated Southern writers of his day. He helped lead the Local Color movement of the late 1800s with his pioneering use of dialect and his skill with the short-story form. A Southern reformist, Cable faithfully depicted the Creole way of life during the transitional post-Civil War period.
