In The Third Reconstruction, Peniel E. Joseph offers a new interpretation of our recent history. He draws connections and insights across centuries from America’s first and second Reconstructions, the movements that arose after the Civil War and during the civil rights era, to a Third Reconstruction in our current age. While the first two Reconstructions fell tragically short of their grand aims, a Third Reconstruction offers a new chance to at last achieve dignity and citizenship for Black Americans—an opportunity to choose hope over fear.
