| Abstract | "In this long-awaited updated edition of Race & Liberty in America: The Essential Reader, editor Jonathan Bean presents the timeless and urgent insights classical liberalism has to offer our troubled and polarized time. In 2009, when Race & Liberty in America: The Essential Reader was originally published, there was a spirit of optimism surrounding race relations. 15 years later, and that spirit is fraught with tensions, many regrettably familiar and some new. Which raises the question: what happened? And more importantly: how can we set things right? With new contributions from Thomas Sowell, Coleman Hughes, Thomas Chatteron Williams, Kenny Xu, David Bernstein, and Ilya Somin--as well as a plethora of primary source evidence from recent landmark US Supreme Court decisions--Bean champions the values of colorblindness, freedom, and equal constitutional protection for all individuals--regardless of race. It's a message that couldn't be more timely"-- Provided by publisher. |
