Bibliography

He is the author of the 2019 book Unjust: Social Justice and the Unmaking of America. Published by Gateway Editions, an imprint of Regnery Publishing.[13][14] Reviewer Warren Blumenfeld saw the book as praising older American social justice movements that challenged hierarchies based on race and gender and attempted to remedy societal inequities associated with prejudices toward certain ethnic groups and the economic displacements of the industrial revolution, while failing to acknowledge the extent to which contemporary America "privileges and subordinates individuals based primarily on their social identities."[15] Jonah Goldberg called Unjust "crisp, insightful and passionate".[16]

Alternatively the book was panned by several prominent Civil rights leaders including Tiffany Cross, co-founder and managing editor of The Beat DC, who in a Morning Joe appearance aside Rothman chimed in that his thesis was "myopic", going further stating, "Many people are not master of their own destiny....I think it’s an accurate philosophy. With respect, I think your outlook on this is a bit 'myopic' and based solely on your experience, and doesn’t extend the intellectual debate with people who haven’t had your history.” She did agree that many white people lived in poverty, but Cross argued their experience was still different from poor people of color — and she said Rothman ignored those realities. “Certainly there are economically disadvantaged white people in this country,” Cross said. “I think the reasons why they’re socially and economically disadvantaged are very different from the reasons why some communities of color are disadvantaged, and think it’s really dangerous to look at the current state this country without looking at it through the context of historical systems that put those people in that position.” And ended by pointing out that “You call that victimization, but I call that reality for a lot of people."[17]
