Books by Dwight McBride

Black literary production during the 19th century was dominated by the issues of slavery, racial subjugation, abolitionist politics and liberation. This book examines how those authors bore witness to the experiences they described.

Dwight A. McBride examines the quiet way discriminatory hiring practices and racist ad campaigns seep into and reflect malevolent undertones in American culture. McBride maintains that issues of race and sexuality are often subtle and always messy, and his compelling new book does not offer simple answers.
