A Black Critique

A Black Critique

This book is a highly personal critique of black education in the United States during recent years. Written by an articulate and competent black economist, it draws heavily on his limited experiences as a student in a few black schools and as a professor in one black and several white universities. In the end, Sowell’s personality (as it comes through in his pages) may make a stronger impression than the facts and arguments that he marshalls.
