Black Rednecks and White Liberals

By: Thomas Sowell

Narrated by: Hugh Mann

Length: 11 hrs and 9 mins

Publisher's summary

This explosive new audiobook challenges many of the long-held assumptions about blacks, about Jews, about Germans and Nazis, about slavery, and about education. Plainly written, powerfully reasoned, and backed with a startling array of documented facts, Black Rednecks and White Liberals takes on the trendy intellectuals of our times as well as historic interpreters of American life.

Through a series of essays, Sowell presents an in-depth look at key beliefs behind many policies and trends. He presents eye-opening insights into the development of the ghetto culture, a culture cheered on toward self-destruction by white liberals who consider themselves "friends" of blacks.

Black Rednecks and White Liberals is the capstone of decades of outstanding research and writing on racial and cultural issues by Thomas Sowell.

Critic reviews

"These vigorously argued essays present a stimulating challenge to the conventional wisdom." (Publishers Weekly)

Eye opening book!

This book takes a honest look at history based on facts and the big picture. Excellent read (listen).

A new perspective for me on an old issue.

My family has been in Mississippi since 1840. This book helped me see it anew

Must read!

Great research and ability to clearly highlight factual evidence regardless of how it relates to the narrative often shared today.

Sowell is an American treasure

This was my first Thomas Sowell book, and it did not disappoint. Sowell is articulate, precise, and entertaining. Reading/listening to his work is a must for anyone.

Every person in public private and college level schools should read this book!

Thomas Sowell has written a very thought-provoking book with an unbelievable amount of research. No one can doubt that this is a gifted man. He also is obviously very honest in formulating his views. He has no ax to grind other than what is actually the truth. We would have a much better country if everyone, on all sides of the problems we have in this country about race, read this book. Thank you so much, Thomas Sowell, for your life and writings.
