Review Quotes:
"An engaging and enlightening discussion of the nature, meanings, and consequences of leftist politics in the United States in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. As a book, Solidarity Blues succeeds in its central goal of explicating the negative impact of race on the historical and political development of the American Left." -- Waldo E. Martin Jr., University of California, Berkeley
