Race and the Making of American Liberalism traces the roots of the
contemporary crisis of progressive liberalism deep into the
nation's racial past. Horton argues that the contemporary
conservative claim that the American liberal tradition has been
rooted in a "color blind" conception of individual rights is
innaccurate and misleading. In contrast, American liberalism has
alternatively served both to support and oppose racial hierarchy,
as well as socioeconomic inequality more broadly. Racial politics
in the United States have repeatedly made it exceedingly difficult
to establish powerful constituencies that understand socioeconomic
equity as vital to American democracy and aspire to limit gross
disparities of wealth, power, and status. Revitalizing such
equalitarian conceptions of American liberalism, Horton suggests,
will require developing new forms of racial and class identity that
support, rather than sabotage this fundamental political
commitment.
