"[T]hese vigorously argued essays present a stimulating challenge
to the conventional wisdom."Publishers Weekly

"I've read all his books and never been even faintly disappointed. Black Rednecks
and White Liberals is no exception."Fred Barnes, executive editor of the
Weekly Standard

This explosive new book 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
culturea 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.

Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, and the recipient of many awards and prizes. His previous books for Blackstone Audiobooks include: Ethnic America, Civil Rights: Rhetoric or Reality?, A Personal Odyssey, The Economics and Politics of Race, and many others.
