by Manning Marable; edited by Russell Rickford

Columbia University historian and political scientist Manning Marable has been one of the preeminent public intellectuals of our generation. A tireless and prolific voice for progressive causes, Marable has authored a highly influential body of publications on the topics of race, class, history, and social justice in the United States, writing scores of lively, accessible articles for popular and academic audiences alike. For decades he has been a syndicated columnist and a guest commentator on national television, radio, and web networks. This book, a rich array of some of Marable's best writing from the last two decades, will prove invaluable to anyone who seeks better understanding of--and creative possible solutions to--the deep and enduring race, class, and gender inequities of our society.
