Bold and Truthful
When I was younger and openly challenged the misguided optimism that America would ever become a integrated society, I was viewed as bizzare and as a black racist. Mr. Meyer shows that White America has and continues to reject integration. Most of it is passive. However it has been ocassionaly violent. My parents' white neighbor next door moved out 6 weeks after my family moved in. Mr. Meyer points out it is the middle class Blacks who bear the brunt of this rejection. For any reader who wants to know why Louis Farrakhan and other Black Militants have a large appeal they need to read this book. Black Nationalism is the hate that hate produced and continues to nourish.

Stephen Meyer has identified a shining example of the complexity that is the American psyche. Told in a compelling weave of human drama and statistical truths, Next Door was difficult to put down. The more things change....
Meyer's book clearly illustrates that, as far as race-relations are concerned, a solution may not necessarily be in the near future.By explaining and expounding on the instances and ramifications surroundingrace issues and their effects on fair (or unfair as the case stands)housing, the reader is forced to consider where he stands in the granderschemes of prejudice and racism.As a historical tool, as well as ateaching guide, this book is both informative and revealing.Perhaps moreimportantly however, As Long As... forces one to examine their ownattitudes towards blacks.It forces the reader to ask thequestion : Inspite of current rhetoric, have things really changed?And the even biggerquestion of: Would it really bother me to have blacks living in myneighborhood? My guess is that most people would be glad thatno one has to know their truthful answer. Very worthwhile and informative. ... Read more

Inside analysis of the criminal justice system
Uviller explores our criminal justice system in pursuit of the answer to one question - is the playing field tilted.He analyzes the roles of all the players - prosecutors, defense attorneys, defendants, judges, andjuries - and compares the various advantages/disadvantages accorded them bythe system.Fair does not mean equal, as Uviller explains using his ownexperiences as well as significant court cases.He argues convincinglythat in many areas where one side seems to have an advantage, the interestsof justice are served, and that "leveling the playing field"would adversly affect the process.This book is an academic one,accessible to the layman but even more useful for the law student andlawyer. ...
