When the first A Cappella bookseller chose this as a staff pick, his recommendation began: “What’s the matter with white people?” The scholarly and equanimous Emory historian Anderson doesn’t pose her inquiry so bluntly, but by focusing on racial attitudes throughout our nation’s history, she shines a spotlight on the indisputable truth that every instance of American racial progress has led to new and ever more imaginative justifications by those in power for keeping it. Since its publication, this one has been a regular selection of a number of A Cappella’s book clubs, one of which Dr. Anderson even graced with her presence. We look forward to her regular drop-ins to sign more copies of her books, which remain among our top sellers.
