Review # 1 was written on 2013-04-10 00:00:00 Christie Sposeto This perhaps is the most essential reading one can undertake in Black politics I can imagine. The comprehensive analysis done be professor Reed in this collection of essays is masterful and literally brilliant. I know few Black academics who have exposed how intra-class conflict within the Black community breads a leadership model completely incompatible with the interests of large segments of the African American population. Adolph Reed, Jr. challenges almost every accepted trope of Black politics and black activism with a refreshingly merciless honesty. All sacred cows are slaughtered and sent to the butcher in this book. Professor Reed should not be ignored. Frankly, in today's milquetoast political consensus, such acerbic critique is more than necessary; particularly with today's insipid and merit-less Black political triumphalism. Without a doubt, this is a must read.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-05-15 00:00:00 Kris Rindahl Smart, original, and insightful, Reed's writing has been incredibly helpful to me in thinking about the lessons I've learned from my work in city politics. Stirrings is denser and more singularly focused on the internal dynamics of Black politics than Class Notes, which I would absolutely recommend as a primer, but are essential readings for those seeking to shift our policies, politics, and political economy.
