Throughout the book, violence is portrayed as the primary force with which whites react to the black body. There is, in the author's perspective and contention, an unarguable correlation between race, racism, and violence. There is also the sense that this correlation is centuries old, and cannot be undone without clear and continuous action from blacks, conjoined with will to change and actual change from whites.
