“Measuring and analyzing these current debates on the role of race and public policy, Smith and King have produced a detailed, nuanced, and ultimately fascinating portrait of how race shapes, interacts with, and often frustrates racial consensus in modern American politics…America's New Racial Battle Lines offers important insights and understandings while building a model for future debates about the role of race in American politics. If we are to continue having sharp racial battles, this book is as clear a map as we are likely to get.”
