如果2016年美国总统大选的事后分析告诉我们什么的话，那就是许多选民存在种族歧视，这就提出了一个重要的问题：在一个禁止就业、住房和陪审团选择方面种族歧视的社会，选民是否应该被允许在选择公职候选人时进行种族歧视？特里·史密斯（Terry Smith）在《怀特拉什》（Whitelash）一书中认为，这种种族化的决策是非法的，有补救措施可以阻止这种反动行为。利用2016年总统选举中基于种族的投票的证据，史密斯部署了法律的类比，以证明法院如何能够破译选民群体受到种族不允许的影响，并采取适当的补救措施。任何对法律的体系如何重新引导美国民主远离许多人担心2016年预示的持续选举灾难感兴趣的人都应该阅读这部开创性的著作。
If postmortems of the 2016 US presidential election tell us anything, it's that many voters discriminate on the basis of race, which raises an important question: in a society that outlaws racial discrimination in employment, housing, and jury selections, should voters be permitted to racially discriminate in selecting a candidate for public office? In Whitelash, Terry Smith argues that such racialized decision-making is unlawful and that remedies exist to deter this reactionary behavior. Using evidence of race-based voting in the 2016 presidential election, Smith deploys legal analogies to demonstrate how courts can decipher when groups of voters have been impermissibly influenced by race, and impose appropriate remedies. This groundbreaking work should be read by anyone interested in how the legal system can re-direct American democracy away from the ongoing electoral scourge that many feared 2016 portended.
