Publisher's Summary

America's leading young black intellectual reveals the hidden rules of race that dominate politics, society, and cultural life. The author discusses the state of Black leadership; the Black Church and sex; Black youth, pop culture, and the politics of nostalgia; why in a color-blind society race will continue to rule; and other important issues. Michael Eric Dyson, former welfare father, and now an ordained Baptist Minster and Princeton Ph.D., is professor of Communications Studies at the University of North Carolina.

Eloquently written

Eloquently written version Rev AL'S race baiting BS meant to divide us. Despite this and seemingly all " intellectuals" insistence in focus on our past and our differences, I believe we (Black & White) have more in common with each other than the people writing books about us. I would recommend any whites looking for insight into the Black experience in America go listen to MOE FACTZ w/ Adam Curry. Moe will sort you out.
