Un très bon article de Reason Online sur le livre de John McWhorter, Losing the Race: qui aborde de façon non conventionelle la question de la place de la communauté afro-américaine: http://www.reason.com/0110/fe.cy.internal.html
The genesis of McWhorter’s book lies in his first childhood memory. It was 1968 and playtime in West Mount Airy, an integrated Philadelphia neighborhood. "A group of black kids, none older than eight, asked me how to spell concrete," writes McWhorter. "I spelled it, only to have the 8-year-old bring his little sister to me and have her smack me repeatedly as the rest of the kids laughed and egged her on. From then on, I was often teased in the neighborhood for being ‘smart.’"
