Randall Kennedy chronicles his reactions over the past quarter century to arguments, events, and people that have compelled him to put pen to paper. Three beliefs that are sometimes in tension with one another infuse these pages. First, a massive amount of cruel racial injustice continues to beset the United States of America. Second, there is much about which to be inspired when surveying the African American journey from slavery to freedom to engagement in practically every aspect of life in the United States. Third, an openness to complexity, paradox, and irony should attend any serious investigation of human affairs. Kennedy has tried to allow that sensibility ample leeway in the essays, prompting within himself surprise, ambivalence, and, on several occasions, a heartfelt need to express apology for prior oversights and mistaken judgments"-- |cProvided by the publisher. 650 0 African Americans |xLegal status, laws, etc. |=^A45564 650 0 African Americans |xCivil rights. |=^A2003 650 0 African Americans |xSocial conditions. |=^A4266 651 0 United States |xRace relations. |=^A6417 650 0 Racism against Black people |zUnited States. |=^A1432314 650 7 African Americans |xCivil rights. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00799575 650 7 African Americans |xLegal status, laws, etc. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00799632 650 7 African Americans |xSocial conditions. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00799698 650 7 Race relations. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 Racism against Black people. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst02029244 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 |?UNAUTHORIZED 655 7 Essays. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919922 655 7 Essays. |2lcgft 776 08 |iOnline version:Kennedy, Randall, 1954- |tSay it loud! |dNew York, NY : Pantheon Books, a division of Penguin Random House LLC, 2021] |z9780593316054 |w(DLC) 2020055461 938 Brodart |bBROD |n127649557 938 YBP Library Services |bYANK |n16894609 949 342.7308 K386S |wDEWEY |hJOYNER132 |ojcas 994 C0 |bERE 596 1 998 5814116
