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.
