Blood at the Root is a vital investigation of Forsyth's history, and of the process by which racial injustice is perpetuated in America., This is a gripping, timely, and important examination of American racism, and Phillips tells it with rare clarity and power., Nothing undermines social justice more than our collective ignorance about the racial terrorism that haunts too many places in America.
