Roger Cohen, who just started writing a column for the New York , wrote one that does something almost unheard of in mainstream media - he confronts American racial history pretty honestly. His column titled "Race and American Memory" is a rare instance of a white American national news pundit saying anything close to the truth about our nation's oldest sin. I've added it to my links section. Check it out.

BTW: I checked out his bio and found out, surprise, surprise, he wasn't born in the U.S.A.

that chronicles the history of racism against all people of color. Is the two-volume set To Serve the Devil by Jacobs. It covers not just slavery, but also the exploitation of Chinese, Native Americans and Latinos. Hawaiians. It shows how differentials in race ideology change with the need political and economic needs of the racial hegemony.

Welcome to the fray(ed). Thanks for your recommendation. I went to Amazon just now to link to the book but found even though both volumes are listed multiple times, they're listed as currently unavailable. Do you know of any other sources that may carry the books?
