Title: An Important Piece of the Puzzle
Review: I read this book along with a half dozen other books on race, race history and racism that came out this year, including Taylor Branch's Pillar of Fire. If we are going to have a conversation on race, we must hear different voices. The Myths that Divide Us is an important voice, providing a substantial bridge from the history of Jim Crow to the statistical racial dead heat identified by Abigail Thernstrom. Intellectuals will find this book useful. The people identified in this book who use race for their own purpose will find themselves feeling threatened by what appears between the covers. Useful and threatening--a highly successful book.
