The Second Coming of the KKK

by Linda Gordon

The release of the distressing and remarkably contemporary history of the reconstituted Ku Klux Klan of the 1920s by award-winning historian Linda Gordon was met with extraordinary national praise. This "second Klan" spread primarily in states above the Mason-Dixon line by appealing to xenophobic fears surrounding the flood of immigrant "hordes" arriving on American shores, dramatically challenging our preconceptions of the hooded Klansmen responsible for establishing a Jim Crow racial hierarchy in the 1870s South.
