Drawing on historical examples and contemporary events, Leland Ware convincingly shows how law and policy, even when purportedly colorblind, perpetuate inequality. In the United States, de facto segregation and dog whistle politics entrench differences, while in Europe, the rise of nationalist rhetoric does the same. Timely and important, this book is a potent reminder of the challenges to full inclusion and integration that lie ahead.
