When Affirmative Action Was White

Katznelson sheds light on stories that are rarely discussed in mainstream history. I wonder what motivated him to bring these issues to the forefront now.

The book made me think about how historical decisions continue to shape our society. It’s unsettling but also eye-opening to see the links so clearly.

The selection of events felt very purposeful, but I’m curious about how much was left out or if there was a specific narrative they wanted to emphasize.
