Black Rednecks and White Liberals

by Thomas Sowell
Black Rednecks and White Liberals
Black Rednecks and White Liberals

Controversial critique of cultural assumptions and identities.

If you’re one to question prevailing narratives and enjoy when scholarly research challenges conventional wisdom, "Black Rednecks and White Liberals" is your type of read. Thomas Sowell is not just stirring the pot; he's offering a meticulously researched perspective that aims to redefine your understanding of race and culture. His dissection of historical interpretations might just leave you with a new lens through which to view issues that have long been taken at face value.

Description

This explosive new book challenges many of the long-prevailing assumptions about blacks, about Jews, about Germans, about slavery, and about education.

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
