Publisher Notes

In a groundbreaking collaboration, and taking the great W.E.B. DuBois as their model, two of America's foremost African-American intellectuals address the dreams, fears, aspirations, and responsibilities of the black community--especially the black elite--on the eve of the 21st century.

Media Reviews

"A useful introduction to important contemporary thinkers and the question that has plagued African American intellectuals for over 200 years."
