women and white power in the united states

white women have defined, upheld, and reified the white power movement in the US from day one. if you’re a white woman, this is your history.

these are primarily academic history, political science and philosophy books used for research during my MA in history. consequently they may be a bit dense and/or dry to the casual reader.

Arlie Hochschild also wrote the wonderful "Strangers In Their Own Land" about right wing working class people in Louisiana, including women. Not sure if it would fit onto this list.
