Reviews
"The Grift is a timely, important, and well-researched book that traces the evolution of Black Republicans from the race-conscious freedom fighters of the Frederick Douglass era, and the traitors among them, to the 'colorblind' opportunists of the Trump era. In the course of all that history, author Clay Cane exposes liars, frauds, and hypocrites in this juicy and provocative study--and he brings receipts. It's a much-needed civics lesson for our precarious democracy." -- Keith Boykin, New York Times bestseller and author of Why Does Everything Have to Be About Race?

Synopsis
Part history and part cultural analysis, The Grift chronicles the nuanced history of Black Republicans. Clay Cane lays out how Black Republicanism has been mangled by opportunists who are apologists for racism. After the Civil War, the pillars of Black Republicanism were a balanced critique of both political parties, civil rights for all Americans, reinventing an economy based on exploitation, and, most importantly, building thriving Black communities. How did Black Republicanism devolve from revolutionaries like Frederick Douglass to the puppets in the Trump era? Whether it's radical conservatives like South Carolina Senator Tim Scott or Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, they are consistently viral news and continuously upholding egregious laws at the expense of their Black brethren. Black faces in high places providing cover for explicit bigotry is one of the greatest threats to the liberation of Black and brown people. By studying these figures and their tactics, Cane exposes the grift and lays out a plan to emancipate our future., AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER Part history and part cultural analysis, The Grift chronicles the nuanced history of Black Republicans.
