The Rainbow Challenge

"A comprehensive study of Jesse Jackson’s presidential campaign. This concise and well-written work is a fine example of politically engaged scholarship. A blueprint for future democratic struggles." ~Manning Marable

"Offers important insights into the need for effective coalition building to transform the substance of American politics—politics that will deal with the issues rather than personalities; politics that will broaden the participatory process rather than restrict it." ~Congressman Ronald Dellums

"An insider’s view of the project, practice, and problems of the Rainbow Coalition, in sharp contrast to the fashionable ivory-tower treatments of the Jackson campaign far removed the heat of battle." ~Cornel West
