Coming Through the Fire: Surviving Race and Place in America Hardcover - 1996
by C. Eric Lincoln
Prominent scholar and writer C. Eric Lincoln addresses the most important issue of our time with insights forged by a lifetime of confronting racial oppression in America. With his fiercely intelligent, passionate, and clear-eyed view of race and class conflict, Lincoln explores the nature of many subjects, including biracial relationships, violence--particularly black-on-black violence--the "endangered" black male, and racism as power.
From the rear cover
"The first consciousness of race comes early. It is not something you learn in the same way you learn about stinging caterpillars or poison ivy. You do not have to learn it from some overt experience. It is a pervasive awareness, an insidious thing that seeps into the soil of consciousness, sending its toxic tendrils deep into the walls of the mind. It is like a mold, a blight. If you scrape it away here, you find it mockingly virulent there. Once the concept of race takes root in the mind, it is there to stay. You cannot run away from it because it is "inside" you. . . . In the South, where I was raised, the pervasive awareness of race was helped along by a series of 'lessons' learned in the process of growing up. These lessons were sometimes impromptu, and often impersonal, but they were never unplanned or unintended. They were always there in the arsenal of race and place waiting for the most effective moment for inculcation."--From "Coming through the Fire"
