With courage and clarity, Eduardo Porter reveals the underpinnings of race in America and the stark challenge of overcoming the divides that have fueled demagogues like Trump. He explains that finding a common national and cultural identity will require tackling the deeply ingrained tribal logic with which America has organized its world. Powerful, sobering, and essential. --Robert B. Reich, author, The Common Good Seventy-six years ago, Gunnar Myrdal called it The Negro Problem and Modern Democracy. Eduardo Porter provides a much needed updating. In an incisive and alarming analysis, he shows how racial dissonance is incited by white Americans. His innovative insights explain so much. --Andrew Hacker, author of Two Nations: Black and White, Separate, Hostile, Unequal
