OK, but Could be Better
There are several points made in the book that get the reader to think about how they view races. However, it is definitely slanted towards black views. I think the book could be very powerful if re-written with a white co-author. I was hoping to find a 50/50 view. It was more of a 70/30.

Excellent
This book is an excellent examination for Race in America. Mr. Jacobs offers insight and solutions. He is honest and compassionate. I have even tried some of the recommendations in this book with excellent results. Don't just read it, buy one for a friend.

A Must Read`
I was fortunate enough to hear an interview with the author in NPR, and was so impressed by the intelligence of his responses to the questions asked that I went out on my lunch break and bought a copy of the book. I'm glad I did. Bruce Jacobs, in his book, deals with several different issues around the subject of race in America, treating boths sides objectively and providing sensible answers to each. His writings on affirmative action and interracial dating are particularly filled with insight, and avoids the stridency so common on both sides of those particular discussions. I highly recommend this book to anyone who cares about the issue of race in America.
