One Hundred Percent American is a new, comprehensive history of the 1920s Invisible Empire that recognizes the diversity of the Klan movement while charting the patterns that determined the organization's rise and fall. Enlivened by sharp detail, it situates the Klan within mainstream developments in American postwar life but also explains why the Klan failed to achieve mainstream status and influence in the 1920s. The 1920s struggle to define American identity restrictively or expansively remains relevant today.
