Summary: Excuses, excuses
Comment: I knew after reading the overview, I would completly disagree with this book. I find it hard to belive that the author really thinks that blacks are the only race overviewed for statistics. Its not a coincidence when statistics show that a particular race may lean towards the less desiarable end on any matter. Whites, Hispanics, Asians, ect are all overviewed. It disgusts me when I hear more and more excuses for the way people can act or live. If the rape rate or murder rate for african american males is higher than with any other race, it is automatically ludacrist just because they're black, well I find THAT ludacrist. Instead of getting angry because the truth is exposed for everyone to see, mabye the right action would be to try and change what a person could, but I doubt that will ever happen.

Summary: A fresh new look at how racial statistics lie
Comment: Contrary to what most people would expect, "Thicker than Blood" delves into how statistics in themselves are "facts" but may be misleading depending on the theory of society that those facts are gleaned from. In his book, Tukufu shows how notable people can come to polar opposite conclusions from the same data, revealing one's own agenda and ideologies. To see how racial statistics lie, we must examine the social context in which they arise.

Summary: The Way Race Really Matters
Comment: "Thicker Than Blood" is an outstanding book that all serious students of race must engage. Zuberi at once pinpoints the conceptual failure of most social scientists who analyze "racial statistics" and makes the compelling case for a historically and theoretically grounded discussion of race. In an era when too many people--including within the academy-are fearful of discussing race, Zuberi lights a path to a sound social science of race.
