...conversation of what his analysis really means for the black community. Throughout the book, his arguments fall flat because of his conception of Black America. If the requirement for citizenship in Black America is only a matter of choice—Kennedy asserts that people “ought to be permitted presumptively to enter and exit racial categories at their choosing, even if the choices made clash with conventional understandings of racial classification”—then does racial treason really exist? Ultimately, Kennedy’s undertaking can be summed up with one word: grapple. Indeed...

Such lights of the Academy ought to be entrusted with deciding what students should read and what they should learn. If not they, then who?According to the zeitgeist of the Faculty and of this venerable page, the answer is most obvious: the students themselves.The new “Q” regulations require professors to offer course...
