Thursday, June 23, 2011
Location: 14 Vesey Street
Time: 6:00pm
The End of Anger: A New Generation's Take on Race and Rage (Ecco Press, May 2011) tracks the diminishment of black anger and investigates the"generational shifting of the American mind." As part of his research for the book, Mr. Cose conducted myriad interviews, as well as two large surveys--one of black Harvard MBAs and the other of graduates of A Better Chance, a program that has offered elite educational opportunities to thousands of young people of color since 1963. The book has been described as "...offer[ing] an invaluable portrait of contemporary America that attempts to make sense of what people do when the dream, for some, is finally within reach as one historical era ends and another begins."
Mr. Cose, was a columnist and contributing editor for Newsweek magazine for nearly two decades. A former chairman of the New York Daily News' editorial board. he has been a contributor and press critic for Time magazine, president and chief executive officer of the Robert C. Maynard Institute for Journalism Education, and chief writer on management and workplace issues for USA Today. Mr. Cose is the author of Bone to Pick, The Envy of the World, the bestselling The Rage of a Privileged Class and several other books.
