A More Perfect Reunion

“A rich, meditative account… Baker offers a wide-ranging and erudite analysis of U.S. history, politics, and culture…. This powerful call to action resonates.”–Publishers Weekly“Contemplating social problems related to race, identity, civil rights and more, a novelist proposes that the simplest, most radical solution is the complete social integration of all minorities.”–The New York Times Book Review “Scholarly yet accessible, this book is a wake-up call for a country that would rather celebrate how far we’ve come than focus on how far we still have to go to eradicate racism. Required reading for any American serious about dismantling systemic racism.”–Kirkus (starred review)
