The Last Plantation reviewed in the Sociology of Race and Ethnicity

“James R. Jones’s The Last Plantation provides an important case study and analysis that helps further sociological understanding of racial politics at these levels. . . . By focusing on social patterns of discrimination and racial inequalities within the halls of Congress itself, the book shines a light on a major process of racial oppression in the United States. . . . This book is of great value to policy makers, scholars, and the public.”—Michael Rosino, Sociology of Race and Ethnicity
