This collection gathers the best of Dyson's vast and growing body of work from the last several years: his most incisive commentary, the most stirring passages, and the sharpest, most probing and broadminded critical analyses. From Michael Jordan to the role of religion in public life, from Toni Morrison to patriotism in the wake of 9/11, the mastery and ease with which Dyson tackles just about any subject of relevance to black America today is without parallel. 000350646 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$xRace identity. 000350646 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$xIntellectual life. 000350646 650_0 $$aAfrican American philosophy. 000350646 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$xSocial conditions$$y1975- 000350646 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans in popular culture. 000350646 650_0 $$aPopular culture$$zUnited States. 000350646 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xRace relations. 000350646 85200 $$bgen$$hE185.625$$i.D969$$i2004 000350646 85641 $$3Table of contents$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip047/2003017294.html 000350646 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0832/2003017294-b.html 000350646 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0832/2003017294-d.html 000350646 85641 $$3Table of contents$$uhttp://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&doc_number=010522605&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA 000350646 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:350646$$pGLOBAL_SET 000350646 980__ $$aBIB 000350646 980__ $$aBOOK
