The Future of the Race
I wasn't particularly fascinated by this joint production. The first half of the book was written by Gates and sums up to a rather mundane reminiscence of Gates' college days. The second half, by West, is heavier on the critical analysis...as is typical of his style (love it or leave it). After breezing through Gates' portion, West will certainly slow you down. Gates redeems himself in the end with an analysis of Du Bois' "The Talented Tenth." The book itself is salvaged by a complete reprinting of Du Bois' famous essay, which I hadn't read in its entirety until now, followed by a copy of a memorial address he delivered on The Talented Tenth forty years after its initial publishing. Had it not been for Gates' first half, I would've considered a four-star rating here.
