This explosive new audiobook challenges many of the long-held assumptions about blacks, about Jews, about Germans and Nazis, about slavery, and about education. Plainly written, powerfully reasoned, and backed with a startling array of documented facts, Black Rednecks and White Liberals takes on the trendy intellectuals of our times as well as historic interpreters of American life.

Through a series of essays, Sowell presents an in-depth look at key beliefs behind many policies and trends. He presents eye-opening insights into the development of the ghetto culture, a culture cheered on toward self-destruction by white liberals who consider themselves "friends" of blacks.

Black Rednecks and White Liberals is the capstone of decades of outstanding research and writing on racial and cultural issues by Thomas Sowell.

The more I read Sowell’s works the more I appreciate the the study of history and the necessity to preserve it’s factual integrity.

If you are open to learning about the complexity of human history and feel that there is something wrong with the simple narratives that we are exposed to in present times, you will enjoy this book and learn much. However, you have to be open to the fact that there may be things that you don’t know you don’t know and that you’re presumptions about how the world works and beliefs about why things are the way they are will be challenged.
