From Library Journal
Hutchinson (The Assassination of the Black Male Image, LJ 10/19/6) brings together current themes of black identity with the events of the past few years and puts them into perspective. The author confronts the recent controversy of the O.J. Simpson trial by citing evidence that, despite the reported media polls of African Americans' unified feelings about the case, "30-40% of blacks publicly stated that O.J. was guilty." Hutchinson delves into events from the nomination of Clarence Thomas to the leadership of Minister Louis Farrakhan and the backlash against Ebonics. Hutchinson clearly identifies the crisis of polarity between the middle class and poor blacks, describing his own dilemmas as a black intellectual and stating that it is far easier to write for the TV-show circuit then to produce scholarly works. Hutchinson faces his own demon with a discussion of gay blacks. This seminal work will be widely studied and discussed. Recommended for public and academic libraries, and for classes on race relations.?Kevin Whalen, Elizabeth Free P.L., N.J.

From Booklist
Hutchinson's latest book of essays is thought-provoking and witty. The 18 chapters cover a range of topics from O. J. Simpson, Clarence Thomas, and Louis Farrakhan to ebonics, Afrocentrism, and the Million Man March. Hutchinson's style and candor provide an excellent commentary on these contemporary issues. He begins each chapter with the scientific approach of stating an opinion and raising the questions to debate. After a brief and engaging analysis, including statistics, the chapters end with a final comment that dispels and challenges the opinion. His nine previous books have all raised points on African American social issues, and these essays on the black-on-black crisis are no exception.
