Review Quotes:
"This book makes a salient case for the possibility and urgency of a Third Reconstruction era. It builds on existing foundational research and addresses an issue that many have grappled with but have yet to address directly. Bringing greater attention to the concepts of white supremacy and power while building a model to promote health/racial justice, this will be a key resource for constructive understanding, organizing, and action."

"This volume offers an important contribution to the notion of racial justice and a Third Reconstruction in the United States. Focusing on (and advocating for) the Third Reconstruction, which is underway in the U.S. but only just beginning, offers more concrete possibilities for understanding the pathways to racial justice in the US. Yes, racial reconciliation is critical to the struggle for racial justice, but racial reconciliation is only possible AFTER a Third Reconstruction. With this framework, this book will be an important resource on the pathway toward that racial reconciliation."
