David Morse’s excellent new book, Divided We Stand, gives the lie to the idea that the United States is a post-racial society. He explores the roots of American racism to get at the reasons that race continues to have such a decisive impact on contemporary US culture and politics. As an expert in multicultural marketing, Morse has a unique perspective on the ways in which Americans of different backgrounds understand race and express their racial identities. This background enriches what is already an eminently readable and thoroughly researched study. --Sara Pugach, Professor of History, California State University, Los Angeles
