Now in paperback, The Rural Face of White Supremacy presents a detailed study of the daily experiences of ordinary people in rural Hancock County, Georgia. Drawing on his own interviews with over two hundred black and white residents, Mark Schultz argues that the residents acted on the basis of personal rather than institutional relationships. As a result, Hancock County residents experienced more intimate face-to-face interactions, which made possible more black agency than their urban counterparts were allowed. While they were still firmly entrenched within an exploitive white supremacist culture, this relative freedom did create a space for a range of interracial relationships that included mixed housing, midwifery, church services, meals, and even common-law marriages.

Industry Reviews

''An unusually rich and dense portrait... Schultz's compelling, detailed account illuminates the basic fact of southern history: the two races have always been inextricably bound together.'' The Atlantic Monthly ''Historians and general readers will profit from this rich work. Essential.'' Choice
