"Everything [Reed] writes is informed by a strong historical memory
of a time when there was a 'Movement' and when the distance between
rhetoric and conviction was much less than it is now." —Christopher
Hitchens, The New York Times Book Review
"Class Notes sparkles with wit and wisdom. Reed's essay on the
political and intellectual left since the 1960s is the best
analysis of American radicalism in print." —Judith Stein, professor
of history, The City University of New York
"Provocative." —Booklist
"Opening Adolph Reed's Class Notes is like boarding a roller
coaster. What follows is an opinionated, headspinning loop,
brilliantly executed, through the controversies of the recent past
and immediate future. I strongly recommend taking the ride." —David
Levering Lewis, author of W. E. B. DuBois: Biography of a Race,
1868-1919, winner of the 1994 Pulitzer Prize in Biography
"Brutally frank. . . . This book is definitely not your father's
old mobilization rhetoric." —Bill Quigley, professor of law, Loyola
University
