Reparation and Reconciliation: The Rise and Fall of Integrated Higher Education (University of North Carolina Press, 2016)
“[A] compelling account of the rise and fall of racially integrated education in the decades following the Civil War and the first decade of the twentieth century.”–Journal of American History
“Offers a fresh approach to the study of integration in higher education . . . [and] highlights the role of individual colleges and universities in shaping the racial project of school integration, positioning organizations as mesolevel bridges to macrolevel structural processes of racial formation and microlevel processes of racial identity construction…Smith also places organizations front and center as significant sites of racial construction—something we need much more of in race scholarship.”–American Journal of Sociology
“Deeply researched and original in focus, this excellent book deals with important and fundamental issues in nineteenth-century American history. Christi M. Smith has drafted a leading scholarly work that will be lauded in reviews and cited by colleagues.”–Desmond King, University of Oxford
