DESCRIPTION:IAN HANEY LOPEZ\nDOG WHISTLE POLITICS\nThe Untold Story of How Fifty Years 
 of Race-Baiting Reinvented Racism and Destroyed the Middle Class\nin 
 conversation with Eva Paterson, founder and director of Equal Justice 
 Society\n\n“As Ian Haney Lopez demonstrates, the vocabulary of race has 
 changed. Nonetheless, race is still skillfully used to distract our 
 attention from ongoing and pernicious disparities in economic 
 opportunities. Read this terrific book to understand how dog whistle 
 politics enables the wealth gap to stay the same and even to get worse not 
 just for blacks or other people of color but for the white working class as 
 well.” -- Lani Guinier, Bennett Boskey Professor, Harvard Law 
 School\n\nDOG WHISTLE POLITICS links the conversations between economic 
 inequality and race in the United States. It is about the coded racial 
 messages politicians have sent their constituents --  from Richard 
 Nixon’s “southern strategy” in the 1960s which courted white voters, 
 to more recent dog whistles, such as referencing Barack Obama’s use of a 
 teleprompter to question his intelligence. Haney Lopez argues these racial 
 appeals wrecked the middle class -- and he traces their use in recent 
 history, such as their adoption by Democrats beginning with Bill Clinton. 
 Haney Lopez also analyzes the critical shift during the presidency of 
 George W. Bush whose administration promoted additional racial stereotypes, 
 such as portraying Muslims as terrorists and Latinos as illegal 
 aliens.\n\nIan Haney López is the John H. Boalt Professor of Law at the 
 University of California, Berkeley. An incisive voice on white identity 
 since the publication of his path-breaking book White by Law, he remains at 
 the forefront of conversations about race in modern America. A past 
 visiting professor at Yale and Harvard law schools, in 2011 he was awarded 
 the Alphonse Fletcher Fellowship, given to scholars whose work promotes the 
 integration goals of Brown v. Board of Education.\n\nCo-sponsored by the 
 Thelton E. Henderson Center for Social Justice at UC Berkeley's School of 
 Law and UC Berkeley's Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive 
 Society\n\nBerkeley Arts & Letters at the Hillside Club (2286 Cedar Street, 
 Berkeley)\n\nTickets $12 ($8 students), at Brown Paper Tickets in advance; 
 $15 at the door\n\n\n
