A New York Times Notable Book of the Year. Going against conventional wisdom; Dalton asserts that blacks and whites need not live estranged; and offers concrete proposals for what individual blacks and whites must do to bring about racial healing. When discussing race; Dalton suggests that blacks and whites “should simply put everything on the table. Own up to the tension. Acknowledge the risks. When someone inevitably screws up; rather than beat a hasty retreat; we should seize the opportunity to deepen the dialogue.†The unflinching honesty of Dalton's views will spark debate and controversy. His vision of a truly just; multicultural America provides a thought-provoking; hopeful view to add to the diversity of debate over race.
