An extraordinary and perceptive work on the issues of race and ethnicity and future of this country. The author makes effective use of the stories of four people caught up in the political maelstrom of California and race politics- (actually culture and ethnicity, as race is a cultural construct).
However, he does not provide any easy answers nor does he provide a convenient scapegoat. What he does provide is a lucid understanding of the problem: the levels of white fear, the complex interaction of race and class, and the complex interaction among the 'non-white' ethnic groups. It's not just a black and white issue.
Anybody seeking a deeper understanding of issues, without the extremist rhetoric (from both sides) clouding the view should check out the book. He truly makes an attempt to seek out all sides of the issue. After all, this is a multi-facted issues that has a wide spectrum of views.
