Why it’s on the list: Anderson’s counter-history: every advance in Black civil rights in America has been met by a white legal and political backlash, from Reconstruction through voter-ID laws.

Where I saw it: Recommended in a BookTok video by Carrie (@carriereadsbooks) that Kyle saved to his Apple Note “Books To Read” — his own note on the list: books to prepare for a Trump presidency. Video: https://www.tiktok.com/@carriereadsbooks/video/7434519243615472927

  • Racism — the subject.
  • Democracy — the institution the book says the backlash works through.
