The Assassination of the Black Male Image

A compelling expose of the truth behind society's racial and sexual stereotypes of black men, this book offers a wide historical perspective and insights into such recent racially charged events as the Clarence Thomas hearings, the O.J. Simpson trial, and the Million Man March. Hutchinson brilliantly counters the image of black men as a population entrenched in crime, drugs, and violence.

Earl Ofari Hutchinson, PhD, is a prominent media critic and political analyst. He writes a syndicated biweekly column for 200 newspapers and magazines nationwide.
