I recommend Half American by Matthew Delmont.
@b4cks4w @MelissaHDavis I don't have that one in my collection. But I do have his book about the making of "Roots".
@LiberalLibrarian @MelissaHDavis also good. And see about getting The Nicest Kids In Town, which details how American Bandstand kept it white and uptight.
