Rezensionen
Drawing on history and law, Birth of a White Nation reveals how, when, where, and why a group called "white people" was first created in colonial North America. This origin story of white-body supremacy examines how a core organizing feature of U.S society came to be. Birth of a White Nation is an important read for anyone who seeks to understand the key developments that have kept us-and continue to keep us-from being a united nation.
Resmaa Menakem, author of My Grandmother's Hands and Rock the Boat

The past is never separate from the present, and if we do not know the past and cannot trace it into the present, we are left with deeply problematic explanations for current conditions. In a cultural moment of white nationalism on the rise and the explicit expression of white superiority permissible, it is imperative that we understand race as a relatively new human invention. We cannot unmake racism if we don't know how we made race. Dr. Battalora provides an accessible foundation for the antiracism project. Her work has been indispensable to mine.
