Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting : Afro-Asian Connections and the Myth of Cultural Purity

Rating:
Summary: Optimism of the intellect!
Review: Strong, strong stuff--as thought-provoking and energizing as KARMA OF BROWN FOLK, and much more thoughtfully argued. But the guy needs to slow down and write a book as carefully and lovingly researched as his first (UNTOUCHABLE FREEDOM)!

Rating:
Summary: Sloppy!
Review: This book is conceived and written in a sloppy manner. Prashad sets up straw men and then proceeds to demolish them, which may be fine to score debating points but is unhelpful in understanding contemporary society.

Rating:
Summary: a fabulous book
Review: vijay prashad has written another stunner of a book - sweeping in its subject matter, fresh in its analysis, and fun to read. a must for anyone interested in the thorny questions of race in the 21st century.
