Dangerous Innocence: White Men, Mass Culture, and the Southern Outsider's Appeal, 1960-2020

Investigates how prevailing constructions of white masculinity in the US South help feed and reinforce systems of racial inequity. Tracing the rise of the ‘southern outsider’ in literature and on television from 1960 to 2020, William P. Murray probes white Americans’ enduring desire to assert their own blamelessness.
