In her first book since that pathbreaking success, Tatum starts with a warning call about the increasing but underreported resegregation of America. Tatum's unique ability to get people talking about race captured the attention of many, from Oprah Winfrey to President Clinton, who invited her to join him in his nationally televised dialogues on race.

His policy recommendations thus by definition only work if freedom is the only value one subscribes to.
