The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. Jane Dailey. An associate professor in History, the College, and the Law School at the University of Chicago, Dr. Dailey’s research revolves around the relationship between race, sex, and politics in the post-Emancipation South. We’ll examine her 2020 publication, White Fright: The Sexual Panic at the Heart of America’s Racist History. The book explores more than a century of White paranoia about black males raping White White Women. Dailey adds no new analysis or greater understanding to this topic (which already has a mighty heap of scholarship) and generally has the same enormous voids as most other volumes: ignoring White male’s sexual abuse of black males and White Women’s sexual abuse of black males and females. The book also consistently implies that Whites often seek to keep Whites and black people “separate.” With the chronic and undisputed White rape of black people, “separation” has never been the goal. We’re eager to ask Dailey how the current pastime of posting penises on Zoom video conference relates to her research.
