Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Tom Wolfe’s discussion of race in America does not concern directly the evils of slavery or the origins of racism. He believes that the moral and intellectual argument over racism and civil rights concluded with the success of the traditional civil rights movement. What Wolfe wants to understand is what happened next. His writing concerns what one might call the post civil rights era, the efforts by admittedly well-intentioned whites to address the enduring inequalities between white and black communities in terms of rights, wealth and opportunity and the responses of the African American community to these efforts. The focus of Wolfe’s interest is first on the misguided actions of the so-called radicals and their elite supporters who high-jacked the traditional, integrationist civil rights movement for the sake of their own revolutionary causes or status ends. The first section of this paper will consider Wolfe’s early reflections on the post-civil rights era in Radical Chic and Mau-Mauing the Flack-Catcher. The second section will turn to his observations of how these issues work themselves out in American society in the novels.
