SUMMARY

A well-known social critic draws on evidence from the media to argue that many Americans have been lulled into believing that racial problems can be substantially mitigated, even vanquished, by blacks and whites, working together one on one, to reconcile their differences. DeMott believes that this position of "friendship orthodoxy" oversimplifies the causes of racism and allows us to ignore the harsh socioeconomic realities faced by many blacks in this country.DeMott, Benjamin is the author of 'Trouble with Friendship: Why Americans Can't Think Straight about Race - Benjamin DeMott - Hardcover - 1st ed' with ISBN 9780871136190 and ISBN 0871136198.
