Sellout: The Politics of Racial Betrayal by Randall Kennedy
2.0
2.5 stars, really.
If you're well-versed on identity politics, culture wars, or the like, there won't be anything new for you here. Still, it's a nice, brief treatment of the concept of the "sellout" in African American history. The chapter on Clarence Thomas was the most interesting part of the book to me.
