The book summarizes American white racism from the end of the civil war to the passage of the Civil Rights bills of the 1960's. Although the book was published in 2002, there is no mention of anything after the 1960's, in which many steps have been taken to eliminate African-American rights and to increase the disparity of wealth between whites and blacks. And the book contains no premonition that the whites would wipe away as many Black gains as soon as possible (killing of unions, gerrymandering, Supreme Court selection of Bush II, Supreme Court gutting the Civil Rights bills allowing the Southern states to resume the suppression of Black voter registration, reduction of Blacks in universities, etc. and the two times an anti-black president would be elected with a minority of the popular vote).
