The views are well-documented and the author takes great care to develop her opinions and back them with documented facts and history. None of the ideas are new ones; but I have never made the connection or been exposed to the linear progression made by Ms Battalora even though I have an advanced degree.0⃣9⃣1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. The Shame of AmericaBy GodsmanAn in-depth timely; well researched account of untold and untaught American history that should have been at the forefront of history in this country.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. An excellent; concise and thoughtfully done workBy R JamesAn excellent; concise and thoughtfully done work. It clearly illustrates what it means to say that race is a social construct - a social fabrication. I highly recommend this book as a resource for all who are interested in understanding the origin of white identity and its continuing role; today.
