In this "penetrating new evaluation" (New York Times Booklet Review), Ira Katznelson fundamentally recasts our understanding of 20th hundred years American background and demonstrates that the main element 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 plantation workers, the difference between blacks and whites actually widened despite postwar success. In what of noted historian Eric Foner, "Katznelson's incisive e book should change the terms of controversy about affirmative action, and about the previous 70 years of American background."
