Review

Alternately admired and abhorred in New York City and beyond, the Reverend Al Sharpton has found himself in the middle of many of the city's recent racial battles including the Bernhard Goetz case, Howard Beach, Bensonhurst, the Tawana Brawley investigation, and Crown Heights. In many cases, it was Sharpton's confrontational tactics that either brought the matter to light, or pushed it to a boiling point. In Go and Tell Pharaoh Sharpton reflects on these events and examines his own process of maturation and prospects for the future.
