One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2012 "[King and Smith] accurately survey the history and the evolution of American thinking on race"--Richard D. Kahlenberg, New Republic "Still a House Divided is quite an achievement... This is an outstanding work."--Choice "Essential reading for scholars of race, politics and policy. It provides a rich and textured analysis that is accessible and theoretically driven... The individual sections are master classes in each policy era and will help guide individual scholars with interests in those eras. With that, the book is an instant classic by two scholars who routinely produce work of this quality."--Mark Sawyer, Ethnic and Racial Studies "Hopefully, there will be an intellectually synergistic effect from the publication of Still a House Divided. As American politics scholars in these camps move forward, they might be able to see some working in the middle and refine their scholarship."--Katherine Tate, Political Science Quarterly "Presenting a powerful account of American political alliances and their contending racial agendas, Still a House Divided sheds light on a policy path vital to the country's future."--World Book Industry
