Reviews
"Reuel Schiller documents the growing tensions between two pillars of Democratic liberalism: the labor movement and the civil rights movement. Schiller masterfully describes how these two movements depended on different, and often antithetical, legal systems and how the conflicts between these systems contributed to the hostilities between these one-time allies. This book is of interest to everyone who follows politics and wants to understand why liberalism is where it is today." Thomas B. Edsall, Columbia Graduate School of Journalism and Op-Ed Columnist for the New York Times, "Forging Rivals tells the story of how and why the New Deal liberal regime declined in the latter half of the twentieth century from a novel perspective: American law. Schiller argues that fundamental and ultimately irreconcilable contradictions between labor and civil rights laws after World War II led to a 'fatal weakening of liberalism'. He supports this claim by focusing on several significant legal and political conflicts in the San Francisco Bay Area between the 1940s and 1960s ... The specific conflicts he analyzes are not only illuminating but dramatic and compelling as well. Summing up: highly recommended." M. N. Green, Choice

Synopsis
The three decades after the end of World War II saw the rise and fall of a particular version of liberalism in which the state committed itself to promoting a modest form of economic egalitarianism while simultaneously embracing ethnic, racial, and religious pluralism. But by the mid-1970s, postwar liberalism was in a shambles: while its commitment to pluralism remained, its economic policies had been abandoned, and the Democratic Party, its primary political vehicle, was collapsing. Schiller attributes this demise to the legal architecture of postwar liberalism, arguing that postwar liberalism's goals of advancing economic egalitarianism and promoting pluralism ultimately conflicted with each other. Through the use of specific historical examples, Schiller demonstrates that postwar liberalism was riddled with legal and institutional contradictions that undermined progressive politics in the mid-twentieth century United States., Forging Rivals tells the story of the rise and fall of postwar liberalism, vividly recounting the attempts of working people, labor lawyers, and civil rights litigators to create a legal system that promoted both economic opportunity and racial egalitarianism., The three decades after the end of World War II saw the rise and fall of a particular version of liberalism in which the state committed itself to promoting a modest form of economic egalitarianism while simultaneously embracing ethnic, racial, and religious pluralism.

Auction said 12-15 days. Better clarity would have prevented lot of frustration
