A mere handful of shoppers serially stating their concern to a local storekeeper because he hires no Negro help are likely to revolutionize his personnel policy: from this modest sample, in a pattern familiar to psychologists, the proprietor senses the sentiment of the community-or thinks he does. New behavior patterns can change old attitudes. "People will assume that it's right to have all-white clerks if you have all-white clerks," says Pettigrew. "And they will also assume that...

In fact, the heart of the dramatic technique of White Sale is irony extended and complex enough to avoid the schematization which cripples adventures into ironic dramatic montage. White Sale is in no sense didactic, and the ironies which arise out of the juxtapositions of its sequences have nothing to do with simple undercutting. For White Sale, irony becomes an instrument of investigation, not a tool...
