The New York Times' 1619 Project and the Racialist Falsification of History

A historical-materialist demolition of the New York Times' 1619 Project — the campaign to rewrite the American Revolution and the Civil War as racial conflicts, recasting class struggle as a footnote.

Through interviews with America's leading scholars of slavery, the Civil War, and Reconstruction — Gordon Wood, James McPherson, Sean Wilentz, Victoria Bynum, Clayborne Carson, and others — and David North and Tom Mackaman's own essays, this volume documents how the 1619 Project departs from established scholarship and the political function of its racialist framing.
