In this "penetrating new analysis" (New York Times Book Review) Ira
Katznelson fundamentally recasts our understanding of
twentieth-century American history and demonstrates that all the
key programs passed during the New Deal and Fair Deal era of the
1930s and 1940s were created in a deeply discriminatory manner.
Through mechanisms designed by Southern Democrats that specifically
excluded maids and farm workers, the gap between blacks and whites
actually widened despite postwar prosperity. In the words of noted
historian Eric Foner, "Katznelson's incisive book should change the
terms of debate about affirmative action, and about the last
seventy years of American history."
