Negative Positive
Title: Very honest
Review: I really enjoyed reading this series of essays. I understand and empathize with many of his sentiments. What I found most enjoyable is how John weaved in a call for blacks to increase intellectual endeavors through individual and group efforts, yet he did not demean the traditional ways we communicate, share, sacrifice and entertain ourselves. Too often, criticism in the black community falls into two categories: high brow intellectual scepticism that looks down with shame on anyone who is not "deep" (read: cynical) or "keeping it real" attitudes which are sceptical of individualism.My onnly criticism would be some doubts I have on your understanding of economics. There were a few points where I thought you confused social policy with economic policy. Maybe a consultantion with Mr. Sowell is needed. The best compliment I can pay you Prof. is that I will recommend the book to others, which includes passing on my own copy! (That way you can replace it with an autographed copy! smile!)
Is the review positive or negative?
