�Branch and Jackson present a compelling and engaging analysis of
how past and present practices have affected Black people, even
while Blackness takes on multiple forms, including the diverse ways
Black people have resisted racist social structures. This book will
be a great teaching resource.�
Margaret L. Andersen, University of Delaware �Powerfully written,
well documented, theoretically sophisticated, and covering central
themes of America�s racial history. This is the book we need
for our courses on race matters in the United States. We owe a debt
of gratitude to the authors.�
