Former Alabama Representative Glen Browder spoke today at the North Carolina History Museum on his book “The South’s New Racial Politics: Inside the Race Game of Southern History." Sorry about the short notice, but I didn't know about the event until it was over:
Browder follows racial history from the time of white supremacy and segregation, through the Civil Rights era and the progress of the 1970s-1990s, and discusses the importance and effect of political campaign racial calculations.

“The usually barren marketplace of books about Congress has been enriched,” says the CongressDaily. Browder writes about the “race game” in “a sometimes brutally candid description of cynicism on race across the political spectrum.”
