      In The Second, historian & award-winning, bestselling author of White Rage Carol Anderson powerfully illuminates the history & impact of the Second Amendment, how it was designed, & 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 & human rights of African Americans.  
      From the seventeenth century, when it was encoded into law that the enslaved could not own, carry, or use a firearm whatsoever, until today, with measures to expand & curtail gun ownership aimed disproportionately at the African American population, the right to bear arms has been consistently used as a weapon to keep African Americans powerless—revealing that armed or unarmed, Blackness, it would seem, is the threat that must be neutralized & punished.  
      Throughout American history to the twenty-first century, regardless of the laws, court decisions, & changing political environment, the Second has consistently meant this: That the second a Black person exercises this right, the second they pick up a gun to protect themselves (or the second that they don't), their life—as surely as Philando Castile's, Tamir Rice's, Alton Sterling's--may be snatched away in that single, fatal second. Through compelling historical narrative merging into the unfolding events of today, Anderson's penetrating investigation shows that the Second Amendment is not about guns but about anti-Blackness, shedding shocking new light on another dimension of racism in America. 
      Carol Anderson is the Charles Howard Candler Professor & Chair of African American Studies at Emory University. She is the author of One Person, No Vote, longlisted for the National Book Award
