In this incisive and unflinching study, Randall Kennedy, author of Nigger: The Strange Career of a Troublesome Word, tackles another stigma of Americas racial discourse: selling out. He explains the origins of the concept 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 Americas quintessential racial sellout--Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. In the books final section, Kennedy recounts how he himself has dealt with accusations of being a sellout after meeting fierce criticism at Harvard upon the publication of his book, Nigger.About the AuthorRandall Kennedy is the author of Interracial Intimacies, Nigger, and Race, Crime, and the Law.
