A MORE PERFECT REUNION
Race, Integration, and the Future of America
A provocative case for integration as the single most radical, discomfiting idea in America and as such its most fundamental problem - and the only way forward.
Award-winning writer Calvin Baker argues in this bracing, necessary book, that the racism that has torn the country apart and threatens our democracy has only one solution, integration - not just desegregation, diversity, or representation. It's the only remedy to a racist state and to our divisions, and the deepest threat to the racial order. It is the real goal of civil rights, and the most radical, neglected idea in American politics.
When We Were Revolutionaries is a call to action. As Baker reminds us, we live in a revolutionary democracy; now we must finish that revolution.
Calvin Baker is the author of four novels, including Grace and Dominion which was a finalist for the Hurston-Wright Award. He teaches in Columbia University's Graduate School of the Arts, and has also taught in the English Department at Yale University, the University of Leipzig, where he held the Picador Chair in American Studies, Long Island University, Graduate Department of English where he was a Distinguished Visiting Professor, Bard College, and Middlebury College. His nonfiction work has appeared in Harper's and the New York Times Magazine. He lives in Brooklyn.
