The Enigma of Clarence Thomas
Corey Robin
This groundbreaking book delves into the enigmatic Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, exploring his political writings and speeches alongside his Supreme Court opinions. The author reveals Thomas's hidden source of conservative views, which stem from a profound skepticism that racism can be overcome. This racial pessimism, which often sounds similar to liberal views on progress, is a key factor in today's political divide.
