Publisher's Description
Shane Rocheleau's most ambitious monograph to date, Lakeside tackles the historical contradictions of white supremacy as they are manifested in present day suburban Virginia.
“Lakeside, Virginia is a psychic landscape, a representation of countless spaces initially built to feign the ‘American Exceptionalism’ writ to redact America’s contentious reality,” Rocheleau says. “Lakeside is also a place with 11,000 people doing the best they can — ugly and beautiful things alike — while drowning in the reality that dreaming gets far less than its promise.”
