I recently reread this collection. Marable here grapples with the problems of black political thought and action in the post-civil rights era. After the relatively clearcut struggle against Jim Crow, what direction should black politics take? Through examinations of Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition, Ben Chavis's brief leadership of the NAACP, the confirmation of Clarence Thomas, and other episodes of the 1980s and 1990s, Marable handles issues of race and class with sophistication and a calm, even-handed delivery. He is particularly astute on emergent class divisions within black America and their political implications. Highly recommended.

The artwork captures the artists love for the area and gives a visitor this insight. I find myself transported every time I look at my book.

I live in Carmel and know the artist. It is a "must have" souvenir and useful guide to this lovely place.

Of all the books on the Monterey Peninsula that we have seen over the years, your is the most unique documentary of the area presented in such fun- filled and a beautiful format.
