	BELL, DERRICK Faces at the Bottom of the Well: The Permanence of Racism Basic Books, 1993. (ISBN: 0465068146) Paperback , 8.1 x 5.5 x 0.7 inches. In nine grim metaphorical sketches, Bell, the black former Harvard law professor who made headlines recently for his one-man protest against the school's hiring policies, hammers home his controversial theme that white racism is a permanent, indestructible component of our society. Bell's fantasies are often dire and apocalyptic: a new Atlantis rises from the ocean depths, sparking a mass emigration of blacks; white resistance to affirmative action softens following an explosion that kills Harvard's president and all of the school's black professors; intergalactic space invaders promise the U.S. President that they will clean up the environment and deliver tons of gold, but in exchange, the bartering aliens take all African Americans back to their planet. Other pieces deal with black-white romance, a taxi ride through Harlem and job discrimination. Very Good.

	DYSON, MICHAEL ERIC The Michael Eric Dyson Reader Basic Civitas Books, 2004. (ISBN: 0465017711) Paperback , 9.1 x 6.1 x 1.5 inches.

The selections here, shifting easily in tone from a dense but readable academic style to fluent mass-market magazine articles, reflect these influences by applying both critical theory and personal insight to issues of popular concern, including the O. J. Simpson trial, gangsta rap, the problems educated black women face in finding marriageable black men, sexuality and the black church, and the advantages whites accrue from having their whiteness accepted not as a specific racial/cultural category but as the universal social norm.

From Library Journal The 12 essays by this writer, professor, and attorney provide a window into the life of a black professional whose parents were also professionals. They clearly demonstrate why the black middle class is angry and disappointed?Graham has gone to an Ivy League school, made good grades, gotten a good position, and dresses well, yet, still, he is treated poorly by others solely because of his race. In an essay that attracted attention when first published in New York magazine, Graham writes about posing as a less educated, less wealthy man in Harlem, revealing the trap a black male can fall into when he lives in the poorer parts of the city. If he dresses for success and job opportunities, he is victimized by others in his neighborhood; yet if he tries to fit into the black world, he will never be able to get a meaningful job and improve himself. Another provocative New York essay describes Graham's experiences as a black busboy at a white country club. All these essays are well written and offer food for thought. Recommended. -?Anita L.
