The result is a truly funny send-up of the corrupt politics of academe, the publishing industry, and politics, as well as a subtle but biting critique of racial ideology.\"\u003c\/em\u003e -\u003cem\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eA History of the African-American People [Proposed]\u003c\/em\u003e, Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Percival Everett (James) and James Kincaid present a fictitious chronicle of former South Carolina senator Strom Thurmond's desire to pen a history of African Americans—his and his aides' belief being that he had done as much, or more, than any American to shape that history.
