Description: National leaders such as Justice Clarence Thomas and former Representative Gary Franks and writers such as Shelby Steele and Glenn Loury appear as contributors and/or subjects in this volume. They emphasize the grassroots aspects of black conservatism with a reliance on common sense and common humanity.

The strength of the black conservative voice lies in the growth of its numbers and social influence. As more African-Americans shift to the right and embrace conservative ideology, they are signaling what may be one of the most politically significant trends in American public life as the twentieth century draws to a close. This collection of essays shatters the myth that black Americans are uniformly left of center and that conservatism is an ideology with a white face.
