How can you counter the inflammatory charge that we live in a racist nation, a country of victims and victimizers?</p> <p>John Perazzo's powerful and timely book, <i>The Myths That Divide Us</i>, gives you the answers. Drawing on mountains of important sociological research, Perazzo shows you that the most serious social and economic problems currently afflicting black Americans are not due to societal racism but to issues within the black community.
