The End of Anger

ebook

"A tremendously important book—gracefully done, painfully perceptive...fearless in its honesty."


—Jonathan Kozol, author of Savage Inequalities

"The most authoritative accounting I've seen of where our country stands in its unending quest to resolve the racial dilemma on which it was founded."


—Diane McWhorter, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Carry Me Home

"The End of Anger may be the defining work on America's new racial dynamics."


—Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director of the American Civil Liberties Union

Ellis Cose is a venerated voice on American life. With The End of Anger, he offers readers a sharp and insightful contemporary look at the decline of black rage, the demise of white guilt, and the intergenerational shifts in how blacks and whites view and interact with each other. A new generation's take on race and rage, The End of Anger may be the most important book dealing with race to be published in the last several decades.


Grounded in extensive surveys and interviews, this essential read on the post-civil rights era unpacks:


  • The Rise of Black Optimism: An exploration of why African Americans, in a time of economic crisis, are expressing more hopefulness than ever before, astounding pollsters and challenging old assumptions.
  • A New Generational Framework: Cose's defining model of Fighters, Dreamers, and Believers, which explains the profound shifts in perspective from the civil rights generation to the young people of today.
  • The End of White Guilt: A sharp analysis of how white attitudes have evolved, dismantling the old dynamic of guilt and accusation that defined previous decades.
  • The Future of Civil Rights: A forward-looking discussion on what equality and social justice mean in an America with a Black president, and where the next battlegrounds for progress lie.
