let me get the book title right (quoted in Derrick Bell’s And We Are Not Saved: The Elusive Quest for Racial Justice)
Praise for this book
"Fascinating and provocative.... Mr. Bell has chosen to engage the often harsh realities of the black struggle for justice in America through the use of a storytelling technique filled with imagination, fantasy and unabashed spirituality."--Vincent Harding, New York Times Book Review
"A book of compelling originality, power, even enchantment." --Alice Walker
"A brilliant analysis of the problem of race in the United States today." --John Hope Franklin, Duke University
"Bell's daring technique allows us to look at race relations from a new perspective."--Juan Williams, Washington Post Book World
"Will in all probability be the decade's most important book about civil rights." --Duncan Kennedy, Harvard Law School
"A powerful book that challenges us to understand the unfinished agenda for social justice of the civil rights movement."--Michael E. Tigar, American Bar Association Journal
"This is a remarkable book in the still intractable field of race relations.... A stimulating mine of ideas, well worthy of the careful consideration of all thoughtful Americans."--Erwin N. Griswold, former Solicitor General of the United States
"Bell's perspective retains its relevance. Even after his death, it has been far easier to disagree with him than to prove him wrong."--Jelani Cobb, The New Yorker
"Derrick Bell, who is often described as the founder or godfather of critical race theory.... has been an important influence on some of today's most influential writers on race, such as Ta-Nehisi Coates and Michelle Alexander.... For his supporters and critics alike, Derrick Bell remains a central figure.... His stark vision of the racial divide in American society and history has retained its power to provoke debate and activism across the political spectrum."--Wall Street Journal
