In the book's four sections, McCrae alternately responds directly to Donald Trump and contextualizes him historically and personally, exploding the illusions of freedom of both black and white Americans. A moving, incisive, and frightening exploration of both the legacy and the current state of white supremacy in this country, The Gilded Auction Block is a book about the present that reaches into the past and stretches toward the future.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40817137778711,"sku":"9780374538712","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/products\/view_archive_cab0a75f-646e-40f0-8e07-95991d17dae2.jpg?v=1703281127","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/mccrae-shane-the-gildedpb","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
