About this listen

 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)

Superb and entertaining book. The reading voice is somehow monotonous but you forget about it when the subject is so interesting. It is great to see somebody against the politically correct tide.

Sowells writing makes controversial points in easy and amiable manners while backing his statements clearly.
The narrator enhances the character of the writing and is probably the best narration of a Thomas Sowell work, the tome and tempo almost feels like Sowells own.

Engaging, informative and entertaining.

I have learned so much about the founding of my nation. This book, easy to understand and chock full of prescient information should be on the curriculum of every US school.

What an incredible book

Well argued - strong arguments supported by data and reason. Like all good history offers a pointer for the future - which is bleak if we don’t start listening to people like Sowell..

Outstanding
