A Realistic Blacktopia

In A Realistic Blacktopia, political philosopher Derrick Darby explores the complexities of addressing racism and racial disparities in the United States. He critiques both race-specific and non-race-specific remedies, advocating for a "big tent" approach that promotes democratic inclusion as essential for securing racial justice. Drawing on U.S. Supreme Court cases concerning education and voting rights, Darby illuminates the persistence of racism and the fallacy of a post-racial society, proposing pragmatic strategies to achieve lasting change.
