Race by Studs Terkel
First published in 1992 at the height of the furore over the Rodney King incident, Studs Terkel's Race was an immediate bestseller. In a rare and revealing look at how people in America truly feel about race, Terkel brings out the full complexity of the thoughts and emotions of both blacks and white, uncovering a fascinating narrative of changing opinions. Preachers and street punks, college students and Klansmen, interracial couples, the nephew of the founder of apartheid, and Emmett Till's mother are among those whose voices appear in Race. In all, 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.
Studs Terkel is the author of ten books of oral history, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Good War. His most recent book is The Spectator (The New Press). He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and a recipient of a Presidential National Humanities Medal, a National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, the Pulitzer Prize, and a George Polk Career Award.
