Description
America's racial fault lines run uninterrupted from the days of slavery, those of lynchings, separate water fountains, and the contemporary Jim Crow of voter suppression, gerrymandered voting districts, and the attempt to nullify the presidency of the U.S.'s first black chief executive. In this book Cornell Belcher presents new research that illuminated just how deep and jagged these racial fault lines continue to be. Cornell has surveyed battleground voters from 2008 through the 2016 primary season tracking racial aversion and its impact over the course of the Obama presidency/ Given the heightened racial aversion as a consequence of the first non-white male living in the White House, the rise of Trump was a predictable backlash. The election of the first black president does not mean that we live in a post-racial society; it means that we are now at a critical historical tipping point demographically and culturally in America-- and this tipping point is indeed the wolf at the door for many anxious white Americans.
