Wolfe's two famous essays about race in America date from the late 1960s. In "Radical Chic" he takes his scalpel to a notorious party given by Leonard Bernstein in honor of the Black Panthers--an event which Wolfe immortalized as the ultimate in white condescension. "Mau-Mauing the Flak-Catchers" is about a confrontation between young black and Hispanic inner-city residents and the uptight Californians representing a bureaucratic "poverty program." Minimize

Cons: Wolfe's high-flying prose doesn't sit well with everyone
The Bottom Line: If you're interested in race relations and have a small bit of time to kill, give Radical Chic a read.
