| |  | | | In Brief
The author offers his perspective on the current state of race relations in the United States.
| | | | From The Publisher
In this controversial essay collection, award-winning writer Shelby Stelle illuminates the origins of the current conflict in race relations—the increase in anger, mistrust, and even violence between black and whites. With candor and persuasive argument, he shows us how both black and white Americans have become trapped into seeing color before character, and how social policies designed to lessen racial inequities have instead increased them. The Content of Our Character is neither "liberal" nor "conservative," but an honest, courageous look at America's most enduring and wrenching social dilemma.
Author Biography: Shelby Steele is a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University. The Content of Our Character won the National Book Critics Circle Award for nonfiction in 1991. Steele is the author, most recently, of A Dream Deferred: The Second Betrayal of Black Freedom in America.
| | | | Annotation
