Blood at the Root: A Racial Cleansing in America

“This is a gripping, timely, and important examination of American racism, and Phillips tells it with rare clarity and power.”

 

     Publishers Weekly, starred review

​

“In an effort to understand the world in which he grew up, the author has uncovered a shocking story as heartbreaking as it is infuriating... Phillips successfully contextualizes

Forsyth in American racism’s long history…. An impressive reckoning with a shameful piece of the past.”

 

     Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“This harrowing chronicle of racial cleansing feels eerily contemporary and all-too relevant… Phillips brings a journalist’s crisp perspective to this precise and disquieting account.”
