Jared Kushner’s insistence that a federal stockpile of medical supplies is not meant for use by states reflects the odd nationalism of the Trump administration. Facing outward it treats other nations as hostile rivals. Facing inward – like an inverted Jacksonianism – it sees subnational states and localities that make up the nation as greedy … Read more

“This important volume places race at the center of political development in America. Leading lights and fresh voices in the field sweep across the history exploring new ways to think about the impact of racial division on the shape of the political order and the dynamics of its change.
