A compelling expose of the truth behind society's racial and sexual stereotypes of black men, this book offers a wide historical perspective and insights into such recent racially charged events as the Clarence Thomas hearings, the O.J. Simpson trial, and the Million Man March. Hutchinson brilliantly counters the image of black men as a population entrenched in crime, drugs, and violence.
In Griner, noted political analyst Earl Ofari Hutchinson goes beneath the surface in her case. He examines the issues of race, gender, celebrity, the disparities in men's and women's pro sports, politics, and war that are deeply embedded in the Griner saga. Hutchinson places her arrest against the backdrop of the escalation in tensions between Russia and the U.S. over Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Hutchinson asks did that make her a political pawn in the jockeying between the two countries over the war as many charged?

In this important study, Hutchinson examines in detail the American Communist party's largely unsuccessful effort to win the allegiance of black Americans in the 20th century. While Communism may have appealed to some, Hutchinson shows that most blacks were not interested in the party, its penchant for theoretical abstraction, or its call for proletarian revolt.
"In his 1970 book The Myth of Black Capitalism, Earl Ofari Hutchinson laid out a rigorous challenge to the presumption that capitalism, in any shape or form, has the potential to rectify the stark injustices endured by Black people in America. Ofari engaged in a diligent historical review of the participation of African Americans in commercial activity in this capitalist country, demonstrating conclusively that the creation of a class of Black capitalists failed to ameliorate the extreme inequity faced by African Americans.
