As regular VC readers know, I wrote an article on the modern history of government racial classification, which I expanded into a much longer book, Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America. Readers have gotten a preview of the book in a series of blog posts I wrote arising out of my research, but if you have been waiting for the book itself, well, wait no more! Today is release day.
To celebrate, if you buy the book today and email me the receipt (dbernste at gmu dot edu) and your address, I will send you a signed copy of one of my previous books, either Rehabilitating Lochner or You Can't Say That! I have many more copies of the latter than the former, so if you want a copy of the Lochner book, act fast. (Please note that I have a busy travel schedule coming up, so you may not receive your book until mid-August.)
And just so those of you who preordered the book don't feel left out, if you preordered send me your receipt, your address, and which book you want, and I will send you a signed copy.
