Want
to “stay free?” Carson and Denham acknowledge that “racism is a
problem for society.” Cluelessness, however, is the reader’s problem,
and it’s one that the authors believe the reader can address and control through the
study of this self-help volume. The density of information on the
close to 300 pages that follow will overwhelm most developing readers.
The content, however, is so extraordinarily useful to urban teens that
educators may consider offering selections and encouraging the reading
of the introduction and reader-driven use of the index. While Carson
calls himself out on his own political incorrectness, this does not
lessen the value of his perspective and generous information. Carson is a retired Miami city cop and FBI agent, currently
employed as a criminal defense lawyer. This book remains among the most
popular non-fiction titles in our libraries.--Jessica Fenster-Sparber
