GVPT Professor and Department Chair Antoine Banks headlined the Sadat Book Chat series with a discussion of his new book: The Anger Rule: Racial Inequality and Constraints on Black Politicians, co-authored with Ismail K. White.

The book argues that Black politicians are uniquely penalized for expressing anger and examines how this constraint helps sustain racial hierarchy and limits Black politicians from mobilizing their political base. 

The Sadat Book Chat is a book conversation series hosted by the Sadat Chair in order to showcase publications by the department's faculty, and others, and to generate a broader conversation.
