With <em>The End of Anger</em>, he offers readers a sharp and insightful contemporary look at the decline of black rage, the demise of white guilt, and the intergenerational shifts in how blacks and whites view and interact with each other. A new generation's take on race and rage, <em>The End of Anger </em>may be the most important book dealing with race to be published in the last several decades.<br /></p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>With <em>The Rage of a Privileged Class</em>, Ellis Cose, a venerated and bestselling voice on American life, offered an eye-opening look at the simmering anger of the black middle class. Some sixteen years later, Cose has discovered this group is much less angry and even optimistic about its future, despite a flagging economy and a deeply divided body politic. With <em>The End of Anger</em>, Cose examines these new attitudes as well as the decline of white guilt and the intergenerational shifts in how blacks and whites view and interact with each other. Weaving material from interviews and two large and ambitious surveys, Cose--an esteemed journalist--offers an invaluable portrait of contemporary America, one that attempts to make sense of what a people do when the American dream, for some, is finally within reach, as one historical era ends and another begins. </p><p><em>The End of Anger</em> is an indispensable exploration of how mores change from one generation to the next and may well be the most important book dealing with race and class to be published in recent decades.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[A] refreshing, readable, and comprehensive look at race in 21st-century America."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em><br><br>"Cose expertly interweaves his own research into the opinions of others, creating an intriguing dialogue about the future of America as class becomes king."--<em>Ebony</em><br><br>"<i>The End of Anger</i> may be the defining work on America's new racial dynamics. Deeply researched, artfully reasoned, and beautifully written. . . . Cose deepens our understanding not just of race but of the power of generational transformation."--Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union<br><br>"[Cose] illuminates the contemporary racial landscape while avoiding the illusion of a post-racial era and the romance of a static racial condition. This is engaged social history and critical analysis at its best!"--Michael Eric Dyson, author of <i>Presidential Race</i><br><br>"A fascinating read. . . . <i>The End of Anger</i> is a worthy look at where we are and where we're headed."--Philadelphia City Paper<br><br>"A tremendously important book-gracefully done, painfully perceptive, and, as always in Cose's writing, fearless in its honesty about the ways that black and white Americans continue to be distanced from each other, even at the topmost levels of success."--Jonathan Kozol, author of <i>Savage Inequalities</i> and <i>Letters to a Young Teacher</i><br><br>"Provocative. . . . You never forget the first or second time you read Ellis Cose's <i>The Rage of a Privileged Class</i>. . . .

Morgenthau, former district attorney of New York County<br><br>"Ellis Cose defines what racial equality means to a new generation."--Uptown Magazine<br><br>"Once again Ellis Cose holds up a powerful lens to bring to light the thoughts, dreams, and perspectives of African Americans today.
