Reviews
""It is hard to imagine a more timely book than the latest edition of Jonathan Bean's (ed.) Race and Liberty in America. The 1st edition of Race and Liberty was released in 2009, shortly after the election of the first Black U.S. President, and presented a classically liberal view of race relations to an optimistic--almost giddy--United States. No afterglow lasts forever, and this new version drops during a more jaded and cynical time: following a decade of Black Lives Matter protests and riots, the angry 'dissident right' response, and the often-bombastic Trump administration. But, this makes the insights from Bean's team more timely than ever: the book features original essays from Thomas Sowell, Coleman Hughes, Thomas Chatterton Williams, David Berenstein, and many others, on topics ranging from a stout defense of inalienable rights to a presentation of the case for truly colorblind 'anti-racism.' I was proud to contribute, myself."" -- Wilfred Reilly, Assistant Professor of Political Sciences, Kentucky State University
