The Accommodation: The Politics of Race in an American City by Jim Schutze

5.0

10/10. I’ve never read a history of Dallas so this was incredibly illuminating! Despite being written in the 80s, it identified the violence and policy related histories that shaped the everyday experience in Dallas to this day. I learned about so many things I’d never heard of and finally understood the history of my former churches, pastors, and leadership.

Dallas earned its title City of Hate long before Kennedy was assassinated there. Would recommend to any Dallasite or person interested in Texas.

Crazy that a book from the 80s that references new comers like TI and other is mirrored in the new wave of Californians in Texas politics too.

Glad it was reprinted ❤️ shout out to Deep Vellum Books.
