...condescending-unwillingness to speak truth to anger ever since the civil rights movement turned militant after the death of Martin Luther King Jr. The party has come to seem craven, weak and untrustworthy in the process. The only exception to this pathetic tradition was Bill Clinton's criticism of Sister Souljah's racist rap lyrics during the 1992 presidential campaign, a carefully planned gesture that was compromised by its transparency as a political tactic...
...Most of my relatives, including parents, a sister, two brothers and a number of cousins, aunts and uncles and their families, live in Galveston County and Houston.

"One may as well begin with Jerome's e-mails to his father," it begins, updating Forster's blasé opener, "One may as well begin with Helen's letters to her sister." Thereafter, Smith revamps Forster's Edwardian battle of wills between the liberal-minded Schlegel sisters and the snobbish Wilcox clan into a modern academic feud that sweeps up the families of Howard Belsey, a white, English, radically-minded art-history professor at a prestigious New England liberal-arts college...
