Focusing on the emergence of a liberal central state in the 1930s, this essay critically examines the New Deal's impact on race, particularly concerning African Americans. While acknowledging the New Deal's role in alleviating hardships during the Great Depression, it argues that racial issues for African Americans persisted and highlights the illiberal aspects of the New Deal that failed to address these problems. The analysis contributes to a deeper understanding of US liberalism during this pivotal period in American history.
