Written by longtime Dallas political journalist Jim Schutze, "The Accommodation: The Politics of Race in an American City" details the violent and suppressed history of race and racism in Dallas from slavery through the Civil Rights Movement. Known for being an uninhibited and honest account of the city’s institutional and structural racism, Schutze’s book argues that Dallas’s desegregation period came at a great cost to Black leaders in the city.
