The Color Of Politics - Race and the Mainsprings of American Politics (Paperback)

In a penetrating new examination of the American political scene, social scientist Michael Goldfield traces our current political morass to its roots in the racism of the labor movement after World War II. A well-documented and completely accessible look at race in the history of American politics, Goldfield's book is an important explanation of our nation's increasing polarization as well as a constructive blueprint for the future.
