This explosive new book challenges long-held assumptions about blacks, Jews, Germans, slavery, and education. Written in a clear and compelling style, it is backed by a wealth of documented facts and takes on contemporary intellectuals as well as historical figures like Alexis de Tocqueville and Frederick Law Olmsted. Through a series of essays, it delves into the beliefs that underpin many misguided actions, policies, and trends. It offers revealing insights into the historical roots of ghetto culture, often misidentified as a unique black identity, which is perpetuated towards self-destruction by white liberals claiming to support blacks. One essay presents a provocative re-examination of slavery, addressing its often narrow and distorted perceptions. Another explores the reasons behind the deep-seated hatred of Jews and similar groups worldwide, questioning whether Jews are viewed as generic. Additionally, misconceptions surrounding German history and the Nazi era are scrutinized, alongside the significant achievements and challenges of black education in the U.S. This work represents the culmination of decades of research and writing on racial and cultural issues by Thomas Sowell.
