The current debate over the causes and possible cures for the persistent white advantage over African Americans in education and income needs a resource that provides both historical and current evidence. In White Men's Law, Peter Irons fills this need with the stories of African Americans who challenged their status in acts of resistance, from slavery and Jim Crow segregation to today's Black Lives Matter and other racial justice movements. Irons marshals a wide array of evidence to make a persuasive argument that systemic racism still permeates every major institution in American society. White Men's Law is certain to provoke discussion on both sides of this debate, in readable and often graphic form.
