FREEDOM’S DOMINION:
A Saga of White Resistance to Federal Power
Jefferson Cowie
Cowie, a historian at Vanderbilt, recounts four peak periods in the conflict between white Alabamians and the federal government, including the reassertion of white supremacy under Jim Crow and the attempts of Gov. George Wallace and others to nullify the civil rights reforms of the 1950s and ’60s. Essential reading for anyone who hopes to understand the unholy union between racism and the rabid loathing of government.
