Hear Darrick Hamilton, Associate Professor of Economics and Urban Policy at The New School (http://www.newschool.edu/) for Public Engagement (http://www.newschool.edu/nspe), speaking at the New School Minute, where faculty from every school present their timely and celebrated research in a series of rapid-fire 60-second lectures.
I went to grad-school at the University of North carolina at Chapel hill with Darrick!! :D

At the end of our last show, we made a few comments on the importance of context (historical, social, economic, legal, etc) in understanding the rapidly deteriorating state of our society in general and “race-relations” in particular.
In Show#40 I also mentioned a great book that attacks the issue from an opposite side in an inimitable way and I highly recommend it especially for whites.
I owe Jay Gordon for introducing me to the writing of Ishmael Reed with his novel: JUICE (2011)
