Book Overview
Whether chronicling the class conflict in the African-American community or exposing the failings of the government response in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Michael Eric Dyson has never shied away from controversy. No stranger to intellectual combat, Dyson has always been ready to engage friends and foes alike in open conversation about the issues that matter. Debating Race collects many of Dyson's most memorable encounters and most poignant arguments. Dyson shows that he is as eloquent off the cuff as he is on the book page, and Debating Race gives readers a front row seat as he spars with politicians, pundits, and public intellectuals. From John Kerry and John McCain to Ann Coulter and the hosts of television's "The View"-Dyson shows the mental agility and rhetorical tenacity that have made him one of America's most astute intellectuals, and with topics ranging from civil rights, the legacy of the O.J. Simpson trial, and the authenticity of Colin Powell there is something in Debating Race to touch a nerve in all of us.

Very Informative
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Dr. Michael Eric Dyson is a magnificent public intellectual. His thoroughness of thought shows in his debates, and one can learn much from his work. You probably won't agree with all of Dr. Dyson's views, but he does accurately expresses some interesting insights into racial relations in the United States.
Worthwhile

While it's true this is a collection of conversations taken over time, it's still a fascinating read. Dyson has to be one of the more vital academics out there and these talks somehow capture his vernacular in way that perhaps wouldn't happen in a traditional book format.
