Bloody Tuesday

This compelling work recovers a neglected episode in the Black community's long struggle for full citizenship when police and Klansmen stormed First African Baptist Church and brutalized over 600 unarmed protestors preparing to march for freedom.

Why the Nineties Matter

Why the Nineties Matter offers an incisive yet broad-ranging history of America in that decade. Terry Anderson focuses on key trends that either began or gained steam then and which have had lasting effects until this day: the spread of right-wing extremism, transformations in class voting preferences and party realignment, the expansion of neoliberal economic policy, the emergence of social media, and US foreign policy choices in the Middle East.

Titans of the Twentieth Century
