Sommario/riassunto

<span><span>This book explores how taxation creates and maintains racial inequalities in the United States. It demonstrates why those interested in Black redemption should pay attention to tax law, explores tax systems of pre-colonial African civilizations, and sets forth an agenda for tax scholars to obliterate racial caste and march toward equal opportunity.</span></span>
