Focusing on the African American struggle for civil rights from 1945 to today, Riches shows how the black community used the institutions created by de jure segregation to overcome apartheid and white resistance. In this updated new edition, Riches emphasises the rise of black conservatism and the election of 2008 that sealed Obama's victory.
