From the New York Times bestselling author of White Rage, an unflinching, critical new look at the Second Amendment―and how it has been engineered to deny the rights of African Americans since its inception.
A Kirkus Reviews "8 Nonfiction Books to Read This Summer"
In The Second, historian and award-winning, bestselling author of White Rage Carol Anderson powerfully illuminates the history and impact of the Second Amendment, how it was designed, and how it has consistently been constructed to keep African Americans powerless and vulnerable. The Second is neither a “pro-gun” nor an “anti-gun” book; the lens is the citizenship rights and human rights of African Americans.
