Book Reviews of Black Rednecks and White Liberals
Book Review: Provactive title but a must read for all
Summary: 5 Stars
Great book. A very necessary addition to the discussion. I agree with the positive comments aleady on this board. I bought and read this book a few years back so the details escape me now. It's time to reread it. That will have to wait until a coworker finishes reading it. I'll expand my comments then.
The three things that stand out are:
1) His refreshing discussion of the world-wide history of slavery that takes a holistic view rather than a bash-the-US approach.
2) His interesting and unique (I think) comparison of the white redneck culture to the black inner city culture...thus the term black rednecks. I discussed this idea with some of my black collegues and they were at first a little uncertain what to think, then they whole heartedly agreed. They are hard working men who despise cultures that reward laziness, lack of education, and intolerance. Most of them grew up in inner city USA, have friends/family there, and find it difficult to relate to those people whom they now view as being stuck in nowhere land.
3) His discussion of the origins of the redneck culture, including language.
