The Color of Fascism

The Color of Fascism2006
Lawrence Dennis, racial passing, and the rise of right-wing extremism in the United States
About this book
"Based on extensive archival research, The Color of Fascism blends biography, social history, and critical race theory to illuminate the life of this complex and enigmatic man. Gerald Horne links passing and fascism, the two main poles of Dennis's life, suggesting that Dennis's anger with the U.S. as a result of his upbringing in Jim Crow Georgia led him to alliances with the antagonists of the U.S. and that his personal isolation informed his political isolationism." "Dennis's life is a testament to the resilience of right-wing thought in the U.S. The first full-scale biographical portrait of this figure, The Color of Fascism also links the strange career of a prominent American who chose to pass."--BOOK JACKET.
