Roediger explores how the idea of race was created and recreated from the 1600&#8217;s to the present day. From the late seventeenth century\u2014the era in which <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/W._E._B._Du_Bois\" target=\"_blank\">DuBois<\/a> located the emergence of \u201cwhiteness\u201d\u2014through the American revolution and the emancipatory <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/American_Civil_War\" target=\"_blank\">Civil War<\/a>, to the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/African-American_Civil_Rights_Movement_(1955%E2%80%931968)\" target=\"_blank\">civil rights movement<\/a> and the emergence of the American empire, <em>How Race Survived US History<\/em> reveals how race did far more than persist as an exception in a progressive national history. Roediger examines how race intersected all that was dynamic and progressive in US history, from democracy and economic development to migration and globalization.<\/p>\n<p>Exploring the evidence that the USA will become a majority \u201cnon-white\u201d nation in the next fifty years, this masterful account shows how race remains at the heart of American life in the twenty-first century.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Race Survived US History: From Settlement and Slavery to the Obama Phenomenon Verso Books October 2008 Hardback, 240 pages Paperback, 272 pages Hardback ISBN: 9781844672752 Paperback ISBN: 9781844674343 David R.
