Description
|
|
|
|
Here is the superb second edition of the annual anthology devoted to the best nonfiction writing by African American authors. The galvanizing election of Barack Obama was on the minds of authors everywhere, and this collection features the insights of writers from Juan Williams to Kelefa Sanneh and even Obama himself (his seminal speech on race is included here in its entirety). Hua Hsu declares the end of white America in "a new cultural mainstream which prizes diversity above all else"; Henry Louis Gates researches his family tree, adding to the "young discipline" that is African American history; and Jelani Cobb dares to defend George W. Bush.
