{"product_id":"9780060174972","title":"Color-Blind: Seeing Beyond Race in a Race-Obsessed World","description":" Is a truly race-netrual society possible?  Can the United States wipe the slate clean and surmount the racism of its past?  Or is color blindness just another name for denial?  In this penetrating and provocative book, Ellis Cose probes the depths of the American mind and exposes the contradictions, fears, hopes and illusions embedded in our complicated perceptions of race.  Looking beyond the platitudes and pronouncements that tend to distort reality rather than illuminate it, Cose offers a visionary analysis of the steps we must take if we are serious about finding a true resolution to the thorny problem of race in America.\u003cp\u003eAuthor Biography:  Ellis Cose, author, contributing editor of \u003ci\u003eNewsweek\u003c\/i\u003e magazine, and former, chairman of the editorial board and editorial page editor of the \u003ci\u003eNew York Daily News,\u003c\/i\u003e began his journalism career at the age of nineteen as a columnist for the \u003ci\u003eChicago Sun-Times.\u003c\/i\u003e Cose has been a contributor to, and press critic of, \u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e magazine, president and chief executive officer of the Institute of Jouranlism Educaton, chief writer on management and workplace issues for \u003ci\u003eUSA Today,\u003c\/i\u003e and a memeber of the editorial board of the \u003ci\u003eDetroit Free Press.\u003c\/i\u003e He is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Rage of a Privileged Class, A Nation of Strangers,\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Press.\u003c\/i\u003e He lives in Manhattan with his wife, Lee Llambelis, an assistant district attorney.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47011162358000,"sku":"9780060174972","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780060174972_p0.gif?v=1763619475","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780060174972","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
