From Publishers Weekly

Divided into three sections, "The American Dilemma," "The Retreat from Equality" and "Reconstructing Racial Politics," the latest from the author of Beyond Black and White and many other titles is nothing less than a working summary of America's history of race relations and a survey the current sociopolitical scene, from hip-hop to September 11. Marable, founding director of the Institute for Research in African-American Studies at Columbia, is compellingly interested in class and economic issues as more than subsets of race politics. And he maintains a surprisingly uncynical belief in the possibilities of democracy. These rare facets, and a good balance of scholarship and observation, assure the book's interest.

From Library Journal

"To heal the effects of trauma our stories must be told and retold." Taken from the latest treatise on race and politics in America by distinguished scholar and activist Marable (political science, Columbia Univ.), this statement sums up the book perfectly. Manning dedicates a disproportionate amount of time to recounting and documenting the history of racism in America, presenting a huge arsenal of statistics on employment and housing discrimination, educational inequality, racist law-enforcement practices, ineffective electoral politics, and neoliberal public policies that perpetuate racial inequality. Most readers will have heard the arguments before and will become impatient with the endless sermon on how blacks have and continue to be mistreated. Less emphasis on what has been done to African Americans and more emphasis on what African Americans have done for themselves and what they continue to do to ensure equality in the future would have created a much more effective narrative. For those stories, see Robin Kelly's Freedom Dreams. Suitable for black studies collections.
