Summary: The best book on the subject I've ever read
Review: Studs Terkel once again has demonstrated to my satisfaction his genius for capturing the essence of a person's experience in a few short pages. With interview after interview, he weaves a story that left me with a far greater understanding of where we all are... and how we got here. This book was a major addition to my knowledge of how African Americans feel... about whites, about the society they live in... about each other. Done with sympathy and never, ever condescending, Studs clearly marks out the dignity and full personhood of everyone he interviewed... from drug dealers in the projects to members of the power hierarchy. I don't know how he does it... I'll read anything with Terkel's name on it.

Summary: Race matters
Review: The author interview both black and whites, in Chicago in the early 90's. The people interviewed answered questions about race issues. I throught the book was ok, but I throught it was gonna be more viewpoints from people in other states.

Summary: One of Terkel's best writings!
Review: This book is great. Studs is a great author and went around America asking people about their experiences with racism. The title is properly titled "Race : How Blacks & Whites Think & Feel About the American Obsession" and as you will see that really fits into this great Turkel book. I heavily recommend it. It will make you think twice about being a racist.
