In The Second, historian and award-winning author Carol Anderson powerfully illuminates the history and impact of the Second Amendment, how it was designed and how it has consistently been constructed to keep African Americans powerless and vulnerable. The Second is neither a 'pro-gun' nor an 'anti-gun' book; the lens is the citizenship rights and human rights of African Americans.

A gut punch to American exceptionalism
Reviewed: 06-12-21
The Second is a no holes barred look at the dual history of gun rights for White Americans and a profound lack of parity with Black Americans in particular. The book covers over 400 years of American history that is rarely taught about racial fear influencing American Law and Politics.
