America’s New Racial Battle Lines

Book Description:

A sobering portrait of the United States's divided racial politics.

For nearly two decades, Rogers M. Smith and Desmond King have charted the shifting racial policy alliances that have shaped American politics across different eras. In America's New Racial Battle Lines, they show that US racial policy debates are undergoing fundamental change. Disputes over colorblind versus race-conscious policies have given way to new lines of conflict. Today's conservatives promise to protect traditionalist, predominantly white, Christian Americans against what they call the radical Left. Meanwhile, today's progressives seek not just to integrate American institutions but to more fully transform and repair pervasive systemic racism.
