Thomas Sowell Books On Race. Thomas sowell's latest book, intellectuals and race, one cannot emerge with much respect for the reasoning powers of intellectuals, particularly academics, on matters of race. He first deals with slavery and american blacks to see how slavery affected the american economic system and compares that latin american and caribbean slavery.
The role of intellectuals in racial strife is explored in an international context that puts the american experience in a wholly new light. Within this first piece sowell systematically dismantles commonly held misconceptions regarding to how race corresponds with culture. One of sowell’s latest books, charter schools and their enemies, focuses on the education gap between black and white children and charter schools versus traditional public schools.
