This explosive new book challenges many of the long-prevailing
assumptions about blacks, about Jews, about Germans, 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 not only the trendy intellectuals of our times but also such
historic interpreters of American life as Alexis de Tocqueville and
Frederick Law Olmsted. In a series of long essays, this book presents an
in-depth look at key beliefs behind many mistaken and dangerous
actions, policies, and trends. It presents eye-opening insights into the
historical development of the ghetto culture that is today wrongly seen
as a unique black identity--a culture cheered on toward
self-destruction by white liberals who consider themselves "friends" of
blacks. An essay titled "The Real History of Slavery" presents a jolting
re-examination of that tragic institution and the narrow and distorted
way it is too often seen today. The reasons for the venomous hatred of
Jews, and of other groups like them in countries around the world, are
explored in an essay that asks, "Are Jews Generic?" Misconceptions of
German history in general, and of the Nazi era in particular, are also
re-examined. So too are the inspiring achievements and painful tragedies
of black education in the United States. "Black Rednecks and White
Liberals" is the capstone of decades of outstanding research and writing
on racial and cultural issues by Thomas Sowell.
