A solid narrative performance is also offered by Hugh Mann. Indeed, Sowell's writing style (the first book of his I've ever read) is crisp, clear, engaging, and always thought provoking. This book is a hard one to put down, and despite its scholarly merits, does not lull the reader into unconsciousness. He explains the role of the "middleman minority" and how their rational economic behavior often translates into class and ethnic stereotyping and hatred. Sowell provides one of the must elucidating explanations of the seemingly maniacal worldwide hatred of Jews that I have ever heard. But the best surprise is that this book goes far beyond what the title appears to imply. Sowell provides the reader/listener with an exceedingly well-sourced (but not at all dry) account of the origins of so-called "African American culture". Thomas Sowell's scholarly expertise does not fail to disappoint in this enlightening book.
