“Candid and consistently engaging, Dent's work contributes to a better understanding of the role of race in American life.”
—Publishers Weekly
This landmark work looks at the lives of African Americans throughout the United States and challenges the typical notions of race across the nation.

With tape recorder in hand, he stopped in Detroit, Washington, D.C., Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Gallipolis, Ohio, Seattle, Virginia, and many other places, documenting widespread diversity in the lives of the black majority—middle and upper-middle class African Americans.
Candid and honest, controversial and pragmatic, and peopled with an eclectic and insightful array of characters, In Search of Black America is written with journalistic fervor and will change the way people view this piece of America that is often over-looked and little understood. This important and timely book is an invaluable addition to the ever-evolving debate about race in America.
