Description - Race and Rumors of Race by Howard W. Odum
In the early 1940s, all sorts of rumours about impending and presently occurring race wars were circulating throughout the South among white Southerners: once docile and passive African Americans, it was claimed, were - with the aid of first lady Eleanor Roosevelt, liberals, Yankees, New Dealers, and "bad niggers" - stockpiling ice picks in Charleston, ordering carton-loads of pistols and rifles from the Sears catalogue in Memphis, and plotting insurrection against whites at every turn. Howard W. Odum was so alarmed - and fascinated - by these rumours of race that he set out to collect and catalogue them. This book, first published in 1943, is the result.
