REVIEWS

"...a uniquely telling volume.... These probing essays are a welcome antidote to the unanalyzed buzz-words and attitudes that shape American notions of race, class, and the disaffected among us."
—U.S. Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, District of Columbia

"One of the most intriguing, useful and stimulating responses not only to Wilson's book but to the whole debate on the urban underclass and the 'race vs. class' analysis of black poverty and alleged pathology.... [I]t should be required reading."
—United Press International

"The subject is an important one and this is the only treatment of it by professional philosophers."
—T. Kermit Scott, Purdue University
