"This book is a collection of essays and conversations by two leading African-American thinkers. They discuss the unique struggles of the black intellectual, and hooks adds a perspective on the female black intellectual. Black intellectual run the risk of being alienated from their own community and not being full respected in the white academic community. Women face the gender bias of men of both races.
Also interesting is their critique of the black community and its giving into the materialistic, consumer mindset of society at large. This helps explain the $200 sneakers and the fancy cars. They have taken their cure from society that status = looking like you have money. Both call for a critique of society and a movement away from the individualistic mindset of middle class America to which blacks aspire and in which middle class blacks current live. Very insightful, if at times hard to understand."
