Sellout: The Politics of Racial Betrayal (Paperback)
by Randall Kennedy
Description
Randall Kennedy explains the origins of the concept of selling out, and shows how fear of this label has haunted prominent members of the Black community--including, most recently, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, and Barack Obama. Sellout also contains a rigorously fair case study of America's quintessential racial "sellout"--Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. In the book's final section, Kennedy recounts how he himself has dealt with accusations of being a sellout.
