Raising Racists: The Socialization of White Children in the Jim Crow South

Lisa S. Ware’s narration lends a haunting authenticity to Kristina DuRocher’s meticulously researched text. Her Southern accent infuses the story with a stark reality, making each detail of white children's indoctrination feel almost unbearable. The pacing is deliberate and measured, allowing ample time for the listener to process the disturbing historical truths laid bare. However, some sections might benefit from more dynamic shifts in tone to underscore the gravity of the subject matter. Despite this minor critique, Raising Racists remains a vital and deeply unsettling listen that forces a confronting look at America's past and present.
