| 1. |  | Roots: The Saga of an American Family from Vanguard Press Price: $4.99 Customer Review:  It was a well written story. Unfortunately, there were a ridiculous number of grammar and spelling errors as well as a couple incorrect facts that really devalued the book for me. I couldn't read 10 pages without seeing a mistake like "the the". I was especially disappointed by these errors since it... |

| 2. |  | April 4, 1968: Martin Luther King Jr.'s Death and How It Changed America from Basic Civitas Books Price: $6.99 Customer Review: This book is informative yet unfocused. As a reader I was looking forward to learning about the social, political, and economic changes engendered by the Civil Rights Movement -during the 60s' and after Dr. King's death-, instead I was bombarded with interesting yet distracting information about the... |

| 3. |  | Know What I Mean? : Reflections on Hip-Hop from Basic Civitas Books Price: $13.57 Customer Review:  Dyson is a great writer. He tackles issues that most writers often shy away from. He does a great job at diving into a difficult subject and shows the importance of it to the African American culture. |

| 4. |  | Why I Love Black Women from Basic Civitas Books Price: $10.17 Customer Review:  Great book for everyone to appreciate strong black women. Only wish this title was available in the UK |

| 5. |  | Holler If You Hear Me (2006) from Basic Civitas Books Price: $12.00 Customer Review: This book was amazing. I am from rural Nebraska, and was only 10 when Tupac was killed, so I knew almost nothing about him. I have since purchased EVERY Tupac CD and would recommend this book to you. Michael Eric Dyson is a very intelligent man that shows you the duality that is required of black... |

| 6. |  | Come Hell or High Water: Hurricane Katrina and the Color of Disaster from Basic Books Price: $7.99 Customer Review:  This author reminds of a character played on In Living Color where Damon Wayans is a convict that tries to use as many multi-syllabic words as he can so he can SOUND intelligent. This author is not. This book is nothing more than an appeal to left-wing wackos suffering from Bush Derangement... |

| 7. |  | Is Bill Cosby Right?: Or Has the Black Middle Class Lost Its Mind? from Basic Civitas Books Price: $10.17 Customer Review: Dyson produces poor arguments that justify the substandard performance of some African Americans. Accountability is needed and this is what Bill has asked of African Americans. |

| 8. |  | I May Not Get There with You: The True Martin Luther King, Jr from Free Press Price: $10.88 Customer Review: I find it very refreshing when a product of multiculturalism throws a wrench in the system and violently turns against his masters. In this provocative (though unsurprisingly silenced) work of pop scholarship college diversity program poster-child and hip hop "expert" Eric Dyson sets to work on... |

| 9. |  | Debating Race: with Michael Eric Dyson from Basic Civitas Books Price: $17.16 Customer Review: Dyson does a great job in dissecting the American mind. He talks about race in a way that forces us to deal with the problem of this country. |

| 10. |  | A Memory, a Monologue, a Rant, and a Prayer from Villard Price: $11.16 Customer Review: I read this book at the gym and found that I really wished that I had a pack of tissue with me. Ensler's anthology is at times painful to read- the vignettes are harrowing and will leave the reader with a sense of sadness. I found that I kept on leafing to the back of the book to read the... |

| 12. |  | Race Rules: Navigating the Color Line from audible.com Price: $10.48 Customer Review: I thought this book was great. I respect and love Dyson as a thinker and leader. There were a few things in the book that I dont necessarily agree with Dyson on, but who cares, thats life. The only person I need to agree with 100% is God. Overall his thoughts are deep, logical and thought provoking.... |

| 13. |  | Between God and Gangsta Rap: Bearing Witness to Black Culture from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $15.59 Customer Review: To say that preacher, professor, and hip-hop prophet Michael Eric Dyson is a brilliant scholar and prolific writer is to not only make a gross underassessment of his intellectual acumen, but also belies his impact on the transliterative interpretation of Black, urban vernacular and culture into... |

| 14. |  | Open Mike: Reflections on Philosophy, Race, Sex, Culture and Religion from Basic Civitas Books Price: $12.24 Customer Review: Unlike the first reviewer of Dyson's book who said he was a "pinhead" I find this book an extrodinary review of the social conditions, in which our society subjects us all too. And please, can we not call authors demeaning names when we write reviews??!!! The person who wrote the first review using... |

| 15. |  | Mercy, Mercy Me: The Art, Loves and Demons of Marvin Gaye from Basic Civitas Books Price: $11.86 Customer Review: Have you ever read a book so boring and pointless that you wish you could get back the hours of your life that were wasted reading it. Well if you would like to share my experience read this book. When I pick up a biography on Marvin Gaye it should be just that-a biography. What I got from this book... |

| 17. |  | Pride: The Seven Deadly Sins from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $11.69 Customer Review:  The New York Public Library's series on the 7 deadly sins, which invites authors to reflect on the contemporary relevance and meaning of the 7 traditional deadlies, is an excellent idea. Unfortunately, the series is uneven, as exemplified by Michael Eric Dyson's rather self-indulgent volume on... |

| 19. |  | Reflecting Black: African-American Cultural Criticism (American Culture, Vol 9) from University of Minnesota Press Price: $20.25 Customer Review: This is one of the most important texts in African American cultural criticism. Dyson demonstrates a level of critical engagement and on-the-ground familiarity with Black popular culture that is rarely seen in the academy. This is a must read text for anyone interested in the intersections between... |

| 20. |  | The Seven Deadly Sins Set: Consisting of Greed, Gluttony, Envy, Lust, Sloth, Anger, and Pride from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $68.81 Customer Review: I've reviewed each of the volumes in the 7 Deadly Sins series separately. But it's worth saying here that the series is uneven. Readers without lots of free time, then, might want to read selectively. The very best of the series is Robert Thurman's Anger, which examines anger from western... |

| 21. |  | Beats Rhymes & Life: What We Love and Hate About Hip-Hop from Harlem Moon Price: $11.90 Customer Review: When did we first fall in love with Hip-Hop as a culture, and as a lifestyle? When were we first disappointed in Hip-Hop as a culture, and as a lifestyle? Beats Rhymes and Life discusses this in terms that two generations of Hip-Hop lovers can understand beginning with the foreword Michael Eric... |
