Product Description
Review
"An ambitious addition to a now long list of revisionist local studies of the Klan. It is the first of these books to focus on a southern community or state, and the first to place gender squarely at the center in explaining the extraordinary popularity of the men's Klan."--The Journal of American History
"One of the most insightful and authoritative works on the Klan. It will serve as the standard work on the Klan of the 20s for decades to come."--Professor David Williams, Valdosta State University
"[T]his is an important book. It is recommended for all students of the South, African Americans, and violence in American history."--History
"Behind the Mask of Chivalry is a well-written...analysis of the Ku Klux Klan of the 1920s."--Journal of Social History
"This is a big book about a small place....Its dark vision of the American heartland is bound to stir lively debate."--The New York Times Book Review
"This study...is without a doubt the best done on the Klan in the 1920s....[W]hat emerges is a portrait of racial division in this country that is frightening, and important to understand."--LIATT, September 1995
"Using a rich cache of Klan records from Athens, Georgia, MacLean shows how and why the Klan achieved a level of power and influence unmatched by other American right-wing groups."--The Black Scholar
"Behind the Mask of Chivalry is a unique and well-researched resource on the Ku Klux Klan of the 1920s. Nancy MacLean's book is an invaluable work for scholars or anyone interested in this little-documented era of Klan history."--Morris Dees, The Southern Poverty Law Center
"An elegant and sophisticated book that goes a long way toward unravelingthe puzzle of the twentieth-century Ku Klux Klan."--Edward L. Ayers, author of The Promise of the New South: Life after Reconstruction
"In a major new interpretation, MacLean puts the Ku Klux Klan in racial, sexual, class and even international context. This powerful book will challenge all of us to rethink the nature and potential of American right wing movements."--Linda Gordon, author of Heroes of Their own Lives: The Politics and History of Family Violence
