“American politics is coming up to a T-intersection,” says political scientist Adolph Reed.

For today’s show, he joins Thursday host Allen Ruff to talk about his new book, The South: Jim Crow and Its Afterlives, which “shines a unique light on the fight for racial equality in America.”

Adolph L. Reed is professor emeritus of political science at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author of many books, most recently The South: Jim Crow and Its Afterlives (Verso, 2022).
