Race and America’s Long War
Summary:
Issues of racial oppression in America have long been a stain on that nations character since the time of the Founding Fathers, however the election of Donald Trump as president was viewed by many as a White working-class kick-back at progress on racial equality.
Distinguished professor, Nikhil Pal Singh of New York University examines the history of US racial politics and the cultural and social impact on the economic development of north America. The election of President Obama was seen around the world as a key step in Americas long journey to racial equality, but the Trump administration has undoubtedly set that back considerably.
Robin D. G. Kelley says: Nikhil Singh obliterates any myth of American peace, revealing instead that the thread tying Americas past and present is long and continuous warhot, vicious, global, and racial. Linking domestic and foreign terrains of combat, he reveals the various ways in which war and race are inextricably intertwined, whether packaged as wars on communism, terrorism, or crime.
In this edition of New Chapter, we shall look at Professor Singhs analysis of the challenges facing this global economic mammoth, from his uniquely informed New York perspective
