1.0 out of 5 stars Divisive and Baiting, May 17, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: African-American Perspectives: On Crime Causation, Criminal Justice Administration and Crime Prevention (Paperback)
This book is an example of race baiting at its worst. Overly abstract and geared at pitting blacks against whites. If you want to read a book that accurately portrays issues of race or class in America, pick up Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man, and leave this example of sensationalistic pulp where it belongs: unread on a dusty shelf.
