Reviews
"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. Nearly three decades after the publication of his most widely read book [ Faces at the Bottom of the Well ], 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, "Eerily prophetic, almost haunting, and yet at the same time oddly reassuring."-- Michelle Alexander , from the Foreword

Synopsis
In Faces at the Bottom of the Well , civil rights activist and legal scholar Derrick Bell uses allegory and historical example to argue that racism is an integral and permanent part of American society. African American struggles for equality are doomed to fail so long as the majority of whites do not see their own well-being threatened by the status quo. Bell calls on African Americans to face up to this unhappy truth and abandon a misplaced faith in inevitable progress. Only then will blacks, and those whites who join with them, be in a position to create viable strategies to alleviate the burdens of racism. "Freed of the stifling rigidity of relying unthinkingly on the slogan 'we shall overcome,'" he writes, "we are impelled both to live each day more fully and to examine critically the actual effectiveness of traditional civil rights remedies."With a new foreword by Michelle Alexander, Faces at the Bottom of the Well is urgent and essential reading on the problem of racism in America., The groundbreaking, "eerily prophetic, almost haunting" work on American racism and the struggle for racial justice (Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow ). In Faces at the Bottom of the Well , civil rights activist and legal scholar Derrick Bell uses allegory and historical example--including the classic story "The Space Traders"--to argue that racism is an integral and permanent part of American society. African American struggles for equality are doomed to fail, he writes, so long as the majority of whites do not see their own well-being threatened by the status quo. Bell calls on African Americans to face up to this unhappy truth and abandon a misplaced faith in inevitable progress. Only then will blacks, and those whites who join with them, be in a position to create viable strategies to alleviate the burdens of racism. Now with a new foreword by Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow , this classic book was a pioneering contribution to critical race theory scholarship, and it remains urgent and essential reading on the problem of racism in America., The classic work on American racism and the struggle for racial justice , now with a new foreword by Michelle Alexander In Faces at the Bottom of the Well , civil rights activist and legal scholar Derrick Bell uses allegory and historical example to argue that racism is an integral and permanent part of American society.
