- W1124751035 abstract "BOOK REVIEWS Black Lives, White Lives: Three Decades of Race Relations in America. By Bob Blauner. Berkeley: University of California Press. 1989. Pp. 347. Cranston Williams Bob Blauner's Black Lives, White Lives provides unique insight into the personal views Black and White Americans hold on racial issues confronting American society. Professor Blauner uses interviews conducted with various Black and White Americans as the basis for his work. He weaves their per- sonal tales into a comprehensive comment on the status of race relations in America. Professor Blauner interviewed over 350 people to gain a fair cross-section of views for his study, however, only 28 personal histories are actually de- picted in his book. He felt that the 16 Blacks and 12 Whites chosen repre- sented an accurate assessment of the main themes of his research. The ages of the interviewees range from 18 to 65; there are 11 women; the employment status includes students, unemployed, menial laborers, blue collar workers and professionals; the political viewpoints include radical, liberal and conservative. The subjects of Black Lives, White Lives are first interviewed in the 1960's. Follow-up interviews are conducted in the 1970's and 1980's to ad- dress new and evolving issues and to also track the development of personal views on racial issues. Professor Blauner did not conduct all the interviews himself and where possible he had White interviewers interview White sub- jects and Black interviewers interview Black subjects. These steps were taken to elicit the frankest comment from the interviewees. The personal tales depicted in Black Lives, White Lives include contact with members of the other race; views on the Black Power movement, Martin Luther King Jr., integration, Black nationalism, the non-violence movement, Stokely Carmichael, the role of the police, the Black Panthers, and perceived racism in the workplace, school, in the law and in other institutional areas. Black interviewees were specifically asked to comment on the following: how being Black affected an individual's manhood or womanhood, the strengths and weaknesses of being Black in America, and the roles of males and females in Black culture. White interviewees were asked the following: whether racism existed in America, their views on affirmative action and their views on inter- racial marriages. The responses to the questions were free flowing and incor- porated many personal experiences of the interviewee. The book contains many vivid accounts of racial incidents and sentiments that a reader would only be privy to if he or she had access to a personal diary. Professor Blauner frames the stories related by both Black and White Americans so that they attack the senses of the reader and force him or her to confront the reality of racism in America. The first part of Black Lives, White Lives contains the interviews con- ducted in the 1960's. The second part contains the follow-up interviews of" @default.
