Reviews

By focusing on the various modes of (self-)representation and the practices of producing knowledge about the Klan’s activities Parsons has written a fascinating book that connects many dots on a cultural level. Her narrative of the KKK brings together popular culture, politics, violence, gender etc. and, through that, emphasizes the multilayered processes of interpreting the KKK." - Sebastian Jobs, JFK Institute for North American Studies, Freie Universität Berlin, in H-Soz-Kult
