Q: A step back . I have been reading this book for a graduate level Art Education course.  In this book Kochman makes many broad generalizations that, while he may consider them true, are belied by the way he phrases them.  He makes many  absolute statements about the behaviors of both black people and white  people and the way in which he writes leaves no room for deviation.  I  would recommend this book if you are curious about why racism is still a  problem in this country.  The problem of racism will only begin to be  alleviated when people stop making broad statements that stereotype races  or cultures as behaving in a particular way.  Kochman does not seem to  realize this

Q: An unwieldy translation . In a nutshell: Don't waste your money on this version.    The original version of this translation dates to just after the turn of the century, but the introduction and further editing by Anatol Rapaport (a biologist and a musician, not a political scientist or historian), make this a clumsy read at best and downright misleading at worst.    Rapaport, for being an editor of Clausewitz, was not a believer in the trinitarian system (primordial violence, non-rational actions, and rationality)- probably not a good choice for a work which owes as much as it does to the first and second Trinities (army, people, and government).    If this is the only one you can get, then live with it.  The first chance you get, get the much clearer, much more straightforward Paret/Howard translation, which is the one that's actually taught at most service schools as well as in universities in their courses that use it

A: NEG
