Faces at the bottom of the well : the permanence of racism / Derrick Bell.
The message of Bell's book is that "racism is an integral, permanent, and indestructible component of this society." He contends that blacks "are doomed to fail as long as the majority of whites do not see their own well-being threatened by the status quo"--Cover.
