The Strange Career of Racial Liberalism

In The Strange Career of Racial Liberalism, Joseph Darda examines how American faith in the gradual progress of time and moral development has shaped approaches to addressing racism. By exploring the roles of various influential figures and movements, the book reveals how this belief in finite solutions and waiting has, over time, inadvertently reinforced racial inequalities. The narrative critically analyzes the legacy of liberal anti-racism and its impact on the civil rights movement and beyond.
