Sobre IBD

The Clansman is a controversial novel set during the Reconstruction era in the American South. It depicts the tensions between former Confederate sympathizers and newly freed African Americans, glorifying the rise of the Ku Klux Klan as a force of Southern 'redemption.' The novel is part of Dixon’s Ku Klux Klan trilogy and heavily promotes white supremacist views, shaping a distorted narrative of post-Civil War history. Though historically significant for its influence on D.W. Griffith’s film The Birth of a Nation, the novel has been widely criticized for its racist themes and harmful portrayal of African Americans.
