While the prevalence of White supremacist groups in the US seems to be on the rise duringthe 21st century, popular cultural productions of this period suggest an increase in awareness concerningthe social construction of Whiteness and its dependence on the degradation of non-Whiteness. As a testcase for this hypothesis, the fantastic ghost story Lincoln in the Bardo (2017) is examined in terms of itsengagement with the discursive practice Toni Morrison termed American Africanism, a specific form ofWhite supremacist discourse that targets African Americans in particular. Morrison’s analytical catego-ries are applied to the contemporary novel to verify whether its anti-supremacist program at the storylevel matches its own discursive practice
