In Honor Bound, David Leverenz argues that in the United States, the rise and decline of white people's racial shaming reflects the rise and decline of white honor. To explore the implications of this argument, he casts an unusually wide net, from ancient and modern cultures of honor to social, political, and military history to American literature and popular culture.
