Interracial Relationships in America: History, Culture & Modern Perspectives | Race & Identity Discussions

Meaning absolutely no offense towards the author, I found this book too difficult to read, and impossible to complete. Generally, I say nothing, unless I can offer a great review, but because of the importance of this topic, and because of the recurrence of miscegenation as an agenda to destroy the black race, I had to comment. I think the book should be purchased, mainly due to the fact that is offers great information, but at the same time, seemed, at every pass, to be trying to make points, that in my non-academic mind, were hard to discern. Perhaps it is a sign of the times. The average reader wants a kind of conversational prose, versus the academic analysis of history, like that written in 'Lies my teacher told me'. I would like to read this information in a rearranged and less academic tenor, and perhaps I will be able to understand the take-away message. That being said, it is obvious that this author spent countless hours of research before penning the tome, and blood, seat and tears in writing it. I think those in the ivory towers of America are torn between satisfying the erudite requirements and critical eyes of their colleagues, and thus many are forced to produce work that is opposite the concept of low hanging fruit. If you are an academic type, I am sure this book will give you what you need, but if you are like me, an average Joe, you will labor to complete the book, in my opinion. I'd suggest checking out the preview before taking this on, or checking it out for yourself, since I could be wrong.
