Freedom’s Dominion: A Saga of White Resistance to Federal Power
by Jefferson Cowie
🏆 Winner of the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for History
Historian Jefferson Cowie focuses on a single place—Barbour County, Alabama, the birthplace of segregationist Governor George Wallace—but in so doing offers illuminating insight into a white supremacist worldview that continues into the present day. Kirkus described it as a “powerful history showing that White supremacist ideas of freedom are deeply embedded in American politics.”
