Living Racism: Through the Barrel of the Book edited by Theresa
Rajack-Talley and Derrick R. Brooms responds to the challenge of
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to find ‘the prescription for the cure’
to anti-black racism ‘with the accurate diagnosis of the
disease.’ This book concludes that racism, despite its
complexity, must be challenged by honest, heartfelt actions and
words. This will require social engagement in many different arenas
to eradicate and to eliminate anti-black racism. Doing nothing is
not an option! Living Racism: Through the Barrel of the Book is an
appropriate memorial to the work of the late Clarence R. Talley who
developed the idea for the book, but was unable to see its
publication.

Collaboratively, the editors have produced a prolific study on the
concept, formation, and application of race in America.
Additionally, the book is organized and prepared to examine the
cognitive areas of education, gender, and public policy.
Collectively, this volume is a major contribution to social science
research in the discipline of Africana Studies.
*James L. Conyers, Jr., University of Houston*
The compelling essays comprising this anthology offer a robust
examination of the origins, continuities, and malleability of
racism and its attendant policy impact in the American polity.
