What They're Saying

Critics Review

“The best book written on the subject, an exhaustive source of deep, rich scholarship and surefooted brilliant analysis.” —Seattle Times

“We urgently need Kennedy, his courage and his convictions… . For some time [he] has been a member of that small coterie of our most lucid big thinkers about race.” —Washington Post

“[A] vibrant, wieghty examination… . Kennedy writes eloquently about the violence, sadness, and warped legacy of the past, but then goes looking for intimacy anyway—instances in which some mutual feeling may have arisen across the racial divide.” —Los Angles Times

“As definitive as it is defiant… . One of the most important books on race in recent memory.” –Columbus Dispatch
