| Summary: | "The first comprehensive examination of the nineteenth-century Ku-Klux Klan since the 1970s, Ku-Klux pinpoints the group's rise with startling acuity.

The spread of the Klan was thus intimately connected with the politics and mass media of the North" -- The roots of the Ku Klux Klan in Pulaski, Tennessee -- Ku-Klux attacks define a new black and white manhood -- Ku-Klux attacks define Southern public life -- The Ku-Klux in the national press -- Ku-Klux skepticism and denial in Reconstruction-era public discourse -- Race and violence in Union County, South Carolina -- The Union County Ku-Klux in national discourse |
