  • African Americans and the Presidents: Politics and Policies from Washington to Trump
    • Review: "Certainly not the final word on the historical significance of presidents and their relationships with African Americans, this is an effective overview, with excellent supporting documentation."
    • Review "This work presents a new approach to studying race in the United States."
  • American Blindspot: Race, Class, Religion, and the Trump Presidency
    • Review "the American Blindside tells an important history of America and provides amuch-needed insight on the social dynamics that led to the Trump presidency"
    • Review "Rather than explaining why Trump won the election, the analysis of the historical record seeks to explain why it was Trump constituted "a viable candidate for the presidency in the first place", "Though this book hardly constitutes a persuasive essay, it has some of its qualities." The reviewer was unconvinced that these arguments were sufficient at explaining Trump's election; he appears more of an anomaly than a "representative of a persistent number of such viable candidates across recent presidential elections?" Rather, political polarization was the key.
    • Review "the realization of an ‘‘American ethos’’ (p. 5) of racism, unbridled capitalism, evangelical Christianity, and white privilege." "Marti states that the United States is founded on racist ideals. Following the lead of many contemporary historians, he argues that slavery was a central pillar of U.S. society." "The book reads more as a history of the modern Republican party than an analysis of the election of a particular candidate". The causes identified were also considered insufficient for identifying what made Trump unique. Also criticised as overly-US-centric" "Martı´ has provided an important synthesis of much recent historical and contemporary scholarship on religion, race, immigration, and economics in the United States and contributes to a better understanding of the origins of Trump’s election and the policies and values of the Republican party"
