The All-American Skin Game, or Decoy of Race

The Long and the Short of It, 1990-1994

In this brilliantly acerbic collection of essays--a New York Times Notable Book in 1995--Stanley Crouch confirms that he is one of the most eloquent and unpredictable commentators on race and culture in American society--something already known to anyone who's seen him on 60 Minutes or read his columns in The Village Voice and The New Republic. 288 pp. National media appearances.
"A very shrewd commentator with an ability to spot the racial cant and hypocrisy with which our public discourse is infected"--The Washington Post
