Review # 1 was written on 2014-06-18 00:00:00 Suzanne Powers Whether you are black, Jewish, both or neither, I couldn't recommend this book more. It's a rare opportunity that we get to learn about complex topics by slowly ingesting an extensive dialogue between two academic and social experts on the subject, and this book does not disappoint. The main benefit of this medium was that it allowed neither voice to dominate, creating true critical discourse. It also amazed me that even though these conversations are slightly dated (especially evidenced in the chapter about Minister Farrakhan), the overarching issues are still fiercely relevant. Every American should read this to learn more about the cultural landscape of their country!

Review # 2 was written on 2007-08-16 00:00:00 Kristin Barr One of the most amazing books I've ever read. Lerner and West's conversation is as moving in text as it must have been in person. The conversation is frank and without reservation and worth any reader's time.
