A provocative look at contemporary race relations. First published in 1992 at the height of the furor over the Rodney King incident, this is a look at how people in America truly feel about race, bringing out the complexity of the thoughts and emotions of both blacks and whites, and uncovering a narrative of changing opinions. Nearly one hundred Americans talk openly about attitudes that few are willing to admit in public: feelings about affirmative action, gentrification, secret prejudices, and dashed hopes.
