White supremacy and its troubling endurance in American life is debated in these personal essays by two veteran political activists. Arguing that white supremacy has been the dominant political system in the United States since its earliest days–and that it is still very much with us–the discussion points to unexamined bigotry in the criminal justice system, election processes, war policy, and education. The book draws upon the authors’ own confrontations with authorities during the Vietnam era, reasserts their belief that racism and war are interwoven issues, and offers personal stories about their lives today as parents, teachers, and reformers.Clear yet? Me neither. Depending on what you mean by the term, there is no such thing as “white supremacy,” at least not in the United States. But just because it doesn’t exist, that doesn’t mean the Left won’t use it as an excuse to motivate its troops.
