*by B***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 26, 2014*

An enlightening, erudite discourse into how the foundations of US racism and white supremacy were birthed, engraved, solidified and permeated into the institutional racism  encasing the United States today. The racist beliefs of Thomas Jefferson, Woodrow Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt, educators, scientist, writers and other ruling class luminaries are exposed. I now see how the killers of Micheal Brown, Trayvon Martin and countless other victims of US racism, are rewarded with hundreds of thousand of dollars in donations and acquittals.. A book well wroth reading.

    Well-documented account of racism's development
  

*by L***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 14, 1999*

I read the 1st edition of this book many years ago (in the 60s).  It well describes the intellectual justifications for racism.  It has a wonderful bibliography which allows the reader to find the original material.  I have  not re-read the book in years, but profoundly recall the author's  discussion of how the intellectuals of the time produced literature to  justify the US's continue subjagation of non-whites in American and  outside--Kipling's "White Man's Burden" being one example.  Highly recommended.
