Steven
Weisenburger works in American literary and cultural history,
especially the cultural history of race, from 1800 forward. His
research and teaching interests include United States history
and fictions, narrative theory, African American literature, and
the cultural history of racism and white supremacy in the United
States, but he has also published and taught extensively on
contemporary fiction and satire. His current book project is
White Sovereignty: A Cultural History of United States White
Supremacy, with chapters on novelists such as Thomas Dixon
and William Faulkner, irruptions of racial violence in U.S.
history, the history of “Scientific Racism,” and white
supremacist ideology in U.S. legal discourse.
