"Should be required reading. . . . This little book deserves to be read especially if we seek better understanding of ourselves and others." -The Dallas Morning News"Demonstrates a key truth about the N-word. . . . it tracks our racial history and stars in a slew of court decisions that reveal large truths about bigotry and free expression."-Philadelphia Inquirer "A detailed, well-researched book. . . . Kennedy boils centuries of usage-in conversation, literature, legal proceedings-down to the most pertinent and instructive." -San Francisco Chronicle
