In \u003ci\u003eThe Strange Career of Racial Liberalism\u003c\/i\u003e, he traces the rise of liberal antiracism, showing how reformers' faith in time, in the moral arc of the universe, has undercut future movements with the insistence that racism constitutes a time-limited crisis to be solved with time-limited remedies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMost historians attribute the shortcomings of the civil rights era to a conservative backlash or to the fracturing of the liberal establishment in the late 1960s, but the civil rights movement also faced resistance from a liberal \"frontlash,\" from antiredistributive allies who, before it ever took off, constrained what the movement could demand and how it could demand it. Telling the stories of Ruth Benedict, Kenneth Clark, W. E. B. Du Bois, John Howard Griffin, Pauli Murray, Lillian Smith, Richard Wright, and others, Darda reveals how Americans learned to wait on time for racial change and the enduring harm of that trust in the clock. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Darda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1503630927\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503630925\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Joseph Darda","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987090604287,"sku":"9781503630925","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b78e4c82-2cea-4ab2-8efd-92ebf5cc48af.jpg?v=1683286950","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-strange-career-of-racial-joseph-darda-9781503630925","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
