Sandra Baringer 
Metanarrative of Suspicion in Late Twentieth-Century America [PDF ebook] 

Narratives of suspicion and mistrust — historically grounded in raced and gendered ways of thinking and informed by some schools of psychoanalytic theory — have escaped the boundaries of specific sites of discourse to constitute a metanarrative that pervades American culture. Sandra Baringer investigates this phenomenon by applying critical race theory and narrative analyis to issues and events of the late twentieth century.
