             The theme of the book is the evaluation of civil rights regulatory agencies created under Titles VI and VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act during the Reagan administration. I thank the author chose the title because the agencies were created following the civil rights movement. The author chose to write the book in order to demonstrate how the bureaucracy involved in intergovernmental relations works and how authorities benefit and suffer during Reagan's "new federalism" era. The book also compares the new agencies created in the 1930s and 1940s. .
             The book chronicles the Regan administrations efforts in scaling down intergovernmental relations. Walton also discusses several civil rights leaders, King, Malcolm X, Bayard Rustin, as well as other government official such as Nixon and Johnson. He also discusses the evolution of several regulatory commissions and agencies.
             The book is easy reading overall. It goes in depth in the discussion of hiring practice and organization of several agencies. The book provides easy to read charts and diagrams as well. It also provides an appendix of federal data and an appendix of federal data and an appendix of notes to back up his information.
             Walton's book discusses the effects on civil rights progress of the institutionalization of enforcement agencies in the federal government. The book specifically delves into how the Reagan administrations new federalism played out in intergovernmental relations by ending programs and seeking control of some agencies. It also discusses some of the problems involved in the institutionalization of some topics such as civil rights.
