Review

A complex and troubling essay on past and present American racism . . . A model explication of strategy, conflict, and leadership on race issues.

(Library Journal)

The authors of this work did an excellent job in resuming on its pages a serious discussion of the nature of American society and the character of the color line.

(Washington Book Review)

Undoubtedly a major source of new information and thoughtful analysis regarding the Chicago civil rights movement.

(American Historical Review)

This valuable work tells in detail the history of both the rise and fall of the organized black-white movement [in Chicago] to attack white racism . . . . Anderson and Pickering have done a major service in recording and ordering this story's details.

(Christian Century)

This look at prejudice and segregation in Chicago has been a long time coming.
