Reviews

Brian Daugherity's useful overview of desegregation in Virginia is particularly valuable in bringing out the important roles of the state and local branches of the NAACP, which have not previously received the attention they deserve. His study should guide others as they examine desegregation in other states.–Mark Tushnet, Harvard Law School, author of The New Constitutional Order.
