Yeesh! I love me some Edward Kennedy Ellington, but I don't really have a month to invest in this book. 720 pages? Yeesh!

I think we've got that down pat around here, so I look forward to discussing it >;) I need to read the book before I can comment, but I will say that the dynamics hinted at would not be possible without a fair amount of critical think on both sides.

[1] i agree - this article would have added an interesting framework to that discussion. ha, i saw this headline and i was like alex must have read his new yorker from last week.

As a resident of Washington, DC, it shows how much too rounds of riots destroyed a great artistic city and how much further the impressive current renaissance has to go to approach where this city was a 100 years ago. and that's not even getting into Duke's approach to race. This article would have been a great side note to the great banter Sheffield race discussion of 2008(?) Absolutely great piece.
