Extract

White Nationalism, Black Interests: Conservative Public Policy and the Black Community. By Ronald W. Walters. Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 2003. 360p. $49.95 cloth, $26.95 paper.

Ronald W. Walters dislikes the direction that race relations have taken in the present-day United States. In his book, he portrays race relations as a war between the radical conservative wing of the Republican Party and blacks. It goes without saying which group has been losing. It is a story told quite starkly with few nuances or nagging caveats—as the title suggests. The reader feels immediately the depth of Walters's anguish, and the strength of his argument builds as he lays out example after example.
