Shelby Steele: A Perspective Worth Noticing

October 22 2007 by The Systemic Analyst.

The following interview with Shelby Steele was published in The Globe & Mail over the weekend. Mr. Steele presents an interesting perspective on the fabric of modern North American society, making the interview a worthy read. Mr. Steele will be speaking in Toronto this week as part of The Grano Speakers Series.

“Race-relations scholar Shelby Steele is among the boldest thinkers in America - and also one of the most controversial. His recent book White Guilt: How Blacks and Whites Together Destroyed the Promise of the Civil Rights Era is a brilliantly argued and uncompromising condemnation of self-serving white liberals and self-victimizing black leaders. It is also a moving meditation on his own journey from the racist world of his Chicago youth. His forthcoming book, A Bound Man, focuses on Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama.” Click here for more.
