In this collection of interviews and essays, which is divided into four parts, Yancy (Emory Univ.) engages in a timely conversation on racism with several well-known scholars and academic journalists. His interviews and essays in parts 1 and 2 contextualize his reflections, as well as those of his interlocutors, on hate mail (including a racist death threat Yancy received) with the dual aim of exposing racism and shedding light on the white backlash engendered by his teaching. Parts 3 and 4 are, respectively, devoted to biographical sketches of three historically important Black philosophers (Thomas Nelson Baker, Gilbert Haven Jones, and Joyce Mitchell Cook) and to conversations with Anita L. Allen on Black women philosophers, Brad Evans on hate speech, Robert L. Williams on Ebonics, and Geneva Smitherman on Black language and resistance. . . Summing Up: Recommended. All levels.
