Leland Ware’s excellent book, Century of Segregation, reminds us that racial segregation has deep roots in the United States, and while progress has been made, its legacy remains with us today and in no small way contributes to the current polarization of American society. The book is a wake-up call to all Americans.
— Douglas S. Massey, Princeton University
A Century of Segregation is a well-crafted, provocative, and insightful analysis of one of the nation’s most pressing social issues — entrenched racial inequality. It provides a unique historical synthesis that is both timely and urgent, a 'must-read'.
