Barkley, Charles Who's Afraid of a Large Black Man? By: Charles Barkley, Michael Wilbon This is the most personal and important book Charles Barkley has written. He lays himself open here, and because he does, he brings the same straight talk out of everyone with whom he engages in his journey around America to talk about the things that matter most and are the hardest to say - things having to do with race, and money, and identity. Why is it that we can talk about all sorts of big issues, but when the subject of race is raised, we all freeze up? Barkley was a great Basketball player who was never afraid to speak his mind on any number of topics. In this book, he attempts to discuss the controversial issue of race in America by interviewing 13 prominent men and women from an assortment of fields. Sports columnist and TV host Michael Wilbon (Washington Post, ESPN) has acted as editor.     moreinfo The Book: Who's Afraid of a Large Black Man?
