Before Brown: southern lady activism -- After Brown, part one: the tactics of respectability -- After Brown, part two: open confrontation -- The 1960s movement: modern abolitionists -- A peculiar brand of feminism.
Subject: In this work, Anne Stefani focuses on a particular group of white southerners--the minority of white women who lived in a white supremacist society but who rejected the segregationist system and contributed to its demise. She argues that the double identity of these white southern women as both "oppressors" and "victims" forced them to confront their native culture, developing a unique form of racial activism through which they rebelled against their own culture while conforming to southern standards of respectability.
