...these passages, unfortunately, the polemical quality comes through more clearly than the analysis. Her treatments of such diverse authors as Norman Mailer, Eldridge Cleaver, Toni Morrison, Ntozake Shange, and James Baldwin make sense from the point of view of her thesis, but are not always clear in their own right. Her discussions of Daniel Patrick Moynihan's and Eugene Genovese's portrayals of black sociology are vivid but sometimes confusingly located in the text, and her autobiographical comments, while giving life to the argument, do not always flow happily into the generalizations she attempts to make...

(Revell), due in April, Charles ("Tex") Watson, leader of the vicious Tate-LaBianca murders, tells how he supplanted Charles Manson with Jesus Christ. Watson, a mandatory lifer, now preaches three times a month and teaches...
