Sellout: The Politics of Racial Betrayal

Sellout: The Politics of Racial Betrayal

In this incisive and unflinching study, Randall Kennedy, author of Nigger: The Strange Career of a Troublesome Word, tackles another stigma of America's racial discourse: â€œselling out.â€ He explains the origins of the concept and shows how fear of this label has haunted prominent members of the black communityâ€”including, most recently, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, and Barack Obama. Sellout also contains a rigorously fair case study of America's quintessential racial â€œselloutâ€â€”Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. In the book's final section, Kennedy recounts how he himself has dealt with accusations of being a sellout after meeting fierce criticism at Harvard upon the publication of his book, Nigger.
