Southern Nation: Congress and White Supremacy After Reconstruction
by Ira Katznelson

"This ambitious book shows just how deeply entrenched white subjugation of blacks has been throughout southern political history. Southern Nation will bring new perspectives to younger generations about the seeds of racial inequality that persist in our nation today."—Wendy J. Schiller, coauthor of Electing the Senate: Indirect Democracy before the Seventeenth Amendment

"Southern Nation makes a major contribution to the history of Congress, casting new light on the development of its rules and its policy outputs. There is nothing quite like this book in scope, sophistication, and theme."—J. Morgan Kousser, author of Colorblind Injustice: Minority Voting Rights and the Undoing of the Second Reconstruction
