Synopsis
A clear, timely examination of race, rights, and power in America—what the country owes its seven million Black citizens and how it might meet that duty.
This edition presents the central questions, contrasts in regional attitudes, and the political mechanics that keep or change civil rights in the United States. It highlights how constitutional design, state power, and public opinion shape the path toward equality, with practical ideas for action that respect democratic processes.
- How rights for Black Americans have evolved across the nation and what remains contested.
- How state and federal power interact in shaping civil rights protections and limits.
- Proposed steps for individuals and communities to advance equal civil rights in practical terms.
- The role of leadership, public debate, and political strategy in pursuing justice.
Ideal for readers of American history, civil rights policy, and political thought who want a grounded look at the challenges and proposed paths to a more just society.

About the Author
Cable was one of the greatest and most celebrated Southern writers of his day. He helped lead the Local Color movement of the late 1800s with his pioneering use of dialect and his skill with the short-story form. A Southern reformist, Cable faithfully depicted the Creole way of life during the transitional post-Civil War period.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex and contentious issue of race relations in the United States following the Civil War. The author examines the lingering effects of slavery and the social, political, and economic realities of the post-emancipation era, delving into the tensions between the North and South. The author argues that the South's persistent fear of black supremacy, rooted in a belief in the necessity of racial subjugation, underlies the discriminatory laws and practices faced by African Americans. The book delves into the complexities of social and civil equality, challenging the notion that the two can be easily separated, and exposes the hypocrisy inherent in the South's assertion of racial distinctions. The book's insights, penned at a pivotal moment in American history, offer a compelling and thought-provoking analysis of the enduring challenges of race relations, and provide a crucial context for understanding the historical roots of racial tensions in the United States.
