Book Reviews of When Affirmative Action Was White: An Untold History of Racial Inequality in Twentieth-Century America
Book Review: The truth will set you free
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful work! His account of the power of Southern politicians to impose their own policy preferences on the national sphere during the New Deal and the GI Bill is not only extremely factually fruitful, but also highly readable. He is a data-driven political scientist whose arguments resonate quite loudly as a result. His interjection into the debate on affirmative action will surely add a third voice for a very long time.
