The Mask of Memory: White Racial Fantasy After the Civil War (Boundless South) by Jason R. Young

In The Mask of Memory, Jason R. Young masterfully dissects the fragile narratives constructed in the post-Civil War South to shield the collective conscience. Through a meticulous examination of white racial fantasy, the author reveals how historical erasure and romanticized myths were carefully woven into the fabric of regional identity. This compelling study invites readers to look behind the facade of reconciliation to uncover the persistent shadows of a fractured past.
