Review:
Stephan and Abigail Thernstrom, co-authors of "America in Black and White: One Nation, Indivisible" This brilliant, sparkling, effervescent book, brimming with life, is a joy to read. Blending personal history and social science evidence, McWhorter courageously confronts the problem of black academic underachievement -- the most important source of ongoing racial inequality today. "Losing the Race" is a stunning achievement that should not be ignored by anyone interested in solutions to the country's oldest and still greatest dilemma.
About the Author:
John H. McWhorter is Associate Professor of Linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley, and the author of The Word on the Street. He lives in Oakland, California.
