Carol A. Horton. Race and the Making of American Liberalism. New York: Oxford University Press. 2005. Pp. ix, 300. $39.95.

Populist Tom Watson and civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., do not often come under scrutiny together, but they do in this probing and intelligent book. Carol A. Horton explores the roles that race has played in "variants of liberalism" (p. 4) from the Civil War to the present. She focuses in particular on the vexed relationships among class and race politics and liberalism itself. Liberalism emerges here as historically specific but consistently limited; Horton concludes that it has yet to develop "the capacity to tackle the intertwined problems of racial and class equality" (p. 225).
