Racist traces and other writings

the long version

"This final collection of Snead's writings range from Plato to basketball, from the classic European canon to film and television. It also publishes for the first time some of his short fiction. Years after his untimely death Snead's writings remain crucial to understanding the need to bring into conjunction the European tradition and African American culture in order to better analyse both. Snead's work is genuinely multidisciplinary crossing literature and film, English and German, black and white."--BOOK JACKET.
