Book Reviews of A Bound Man: Why We Are Excited About Obama and Why He Can't Win

Book Review: The World Has Moved On
Summary: 2 Stars

Shelby Steele is among a long ago generation that prefers using old arguments to push back against new realities. He prefers to fight old wars rather than positively confront new challenges. The thesis of the book is so small as to be nothing more than a magazine article. To enjoy the book you must suspend belief that anything has changed since 1960 and believe that race is still at the forefront of our country. Shame on Mr. Steele.
