"[This book shows exactly how] uniting under a common vision...
will benefit us all."--New Books Network
"[This] book aims to confront the inherent whiteness at the heart
of America's politics on both sides of the aisle... [it is] so
current and immediate and gripping that reading it feels like
someone let Maxwell peek at summer 2020's headlines before she sat
down to write it."--Glamour
"As an analysis of the current state of America's political system,
The End of White Politics - How to Heal Our Liberal Divide is an
important book that reads like the future, like an awakening, like
common sense. Written with passion and commitment, Zerlina Maxwell
presents her argument persuasively and unapologetically, and with
enough anecdotes to lift it above the political thesis."--Manhattan
Book Review
"In her classic truth-telling, no-holds-barred style, Zerlina flips
the 'identity politics' debate on its head, laying out why
Democrats should reject the notion that it's a politics of social
division, and instead embrace it as a bridge to social cohesion and
inclusion. The book underscores a powerful truth: centering the
voices and experiences of those too long marginalized in our
politics--including women of color and particularly black
women--will not only strengthen our democracy, it will win
elections."--Maya L. Harris, civil rights advocate, former
seniorpolicy advisor to Hillary Clinton, and author of Women of
Color: A GrowingForce in the American Electorate
"Maxwell has produced a worthwhile blueprint for a party that seems
to have lost its way."--Booklist
"With a style that is as infectious as it is cogent and accessible,
the author outlines and defends her recommendations and strategies
so thoroughly that the only possible dissent is a willful disregard
for the future of not just the Democratic Party, but the future of
all but the most privileged Americans."--Kirkus, Starred Review
"... An imperative read for our times. Arguing we need to lean into
identity politics, Maxwell explains what we need to do--now--to
move the Democratic party, and the nation, forward. "
--Ms. Magazine
"A clear-eyed critique of the racism and sexism corroding American
politics."--The Atlantic
"Along with bringing #BlackGirlMagic to our screens on Peacock TV,
Zerlina Maxwell breaks down everything wrong with our current
political system and how to center true equity as progressives
navigate the political landscape."--EBONY
"Witty and piercing."--TIME
