Jane Dailey is a Professor at the University of Chicago Law School, specializing in American History. Her recent book, 'White Fright: Sexual Panic and the Racist History of America' (Basic Book, 2020), addresses the intersections of race, sex, and the civil rights movement from emancipation to the present. Following her previous work, 'Building the American Republic, Volume 2: A Narrative History from 1877' (Chicago, 2018), she has focused on the complexities of race and politics in the post-Emancipation South. Dailey's notable publications include 'Jim Crow: The Politics of Race in Postemancipation Virginia' (North Carolina, 2000), which examines the conditions that facilitated the undoing of interracial democracy in the post-Civil War South, and 'The Age of Jim Crow: A Norton Documentary History' (Norton, 2008), which explores the creation and dissolution of legal segregation in America through primary sources. Dailey has received several fellowships, including from the American Council of Learned Societies, the American Academy in Berlin, the Alphonse Fletcher Foundation, and the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.
