St. Martin’s Press, New York, 1990 Hardcover with Dust Jacket. 175 pages. Reflective, Introspective, and Controversial, this collection of 9 essays won a1990 National Book Critics Circle Award and is still relevant today. From Amazon: “In this controversial essay collection, award-winning writer Shelby Stelle illuminates the origins of the current conflict in race relations--the increase in anger, mistrust, and even violence between black and whites. With candor and persuasive argument, he shows us how both black and white Americans have become trapped into seeing color before character, and how social policies designed to lessen racial inequities have instead increased them. The Content of Our Character is neither "liberal" nor "conservative," but an honest, courageous look at America's most enduring and wrenching social dilemma.” The Condition is Very Good. No apparent markings in text. No remainder mark. The binding is tight and square. There is an old, lighter price stamp on red, right front endpaper. The Dust Jacket is not price clipped and has only minor edgewear/shelfwear. There is some scuffing and light soiling to back. One tiny closed edged tear at top of back cover towards spine. Please see photos. This is a great, collectible copy of a book that still resonates today. Shipped with USPS Media Mail. Thank you for looking and good luck bidding!
