Review

'Feagin and Sikes . . . effectively drive home the point that 'mere' slights, racist jokes, common stereotyping-the myriad minor acts of prejudice and discrimination to which blacks are subjected even when separated by days or weeks-can gradually leave a sediment of bitterness and despair in the souls of black folk that makes normal interaction with whites very difficult.'--The Texas Observer

From the Back Cover

Based on the sometimes harrowing testimony of more than 200 Black respondents, this groundbreaking study exposes the depth and relentlessness of the racism that middle-class African Americans confront everyday.
