New York: Civitas / Basic Books, (2004). First edition - A collection of essays, some previously unpublished, in which "the notoriously contrarian critic of race-based cultural politics examines the problem of ethnic authenticity in contemporary America. Writing in a characteristically peeved style, Crouch is perhaps most cogent in an essay entitled 'Most Vote for Literary Segregation, Others Don't,' in which he asserts that contemporary American writers, wary of being labeled politically incorrect, rarely write about life beyond the boundaries of their own race and class." (Publisher's Weekly)" 226 pp.
