Reviews

"This is a remarkable and valuable book. Donald Nieman has maintained the high quality of the original volume, while bringing his account into the Age of Trump. The original edition was published after a period of civil rights retrenchment. This volume follows the elections of our first African-American president, and our first modern racist president. Nieman sets this double-whammy into a clear historical context, and helps us to understand why getting race
right is essential to constitutional order in the United States." -- Stanley N. Katz, Professor of Public and International Affairs, Princeton University
