With great clarity and thoughtfulness, Ian Haney López shows why the path
    to a truly just society lies in a multi-racial coalition of poor, working and
  middle-class AmericansPowerful, urgent, and timely.
                                          Robert B. Reich
     
  In Dog Whistle Politics López explained how coded racism in politics tears us  
 apart. He shows us how we can come together again in his new book, Merge Left.
                                                        Van Jones

   Ian Haney Lopez teaches in the areas of race and constitutional law. One of the nations leading thinkers on how racism has evolved since the civil rights era, his current research emphasizes the connection between racial divisions in society and growing wealth inequality in the United States. In Dog Whistle Politics: How Coded Racial Appeals Have Reinvented Racism and Wrecked the Middle Class (2014), Haney López detailed the fifty-year history of how politicians exploit racial pandering to fracture social solidarity and ultimately to convince many voters to support rule by the rich. After publishing Dog Whistle Politics, Haney López co-chaired the AFL-CIOs Advisory Council on Racial and Economic Justice and then co-founded the Race-Class Narrative Project, exploring how to defeat dog whistle politics. His most recent book, Merge Left: Fusing Race and Class, Winning Elections, and Saving America (2019), explains how the political manipulation of coded racism has evolved in the Trump era, while also offering an evidence-based approach to neutralizing political racism and building cross-racial solidarity. Haney López holds an endowed chair as the Chief Justice Earl Warren Professor of Public Law at the University of California, Berkeley. He is also the author of White by Law as well as Racism on Trial, books that respectively critique the legal construction of white and Latinx racial identity.
