Al on America

"Unfortunately, AL ON AMERICA is mere political cant. Its an extended pamphlet, not serious analysis. Though Mr. Sharpton makes many wise proposals, he bathes them in the sort of hazy generalities that political campaigns are made of....Instead of analysis, Mr. Sharpton offers up simple, usually appealing declarations about the is and the ought. He has mastered the voice that American oratory is famous for: plain style (reminiscent of Puritan sermons), repetition that builds to a climax (echoing Martin Luther King), and a homily or anecdote at every turn (providing the sort of homespun wisdom that, as someone like Lincoln knew, appeals to everyman).
Some of these verbal flourishes are true gems."Sharpton, Al is the author of 'Al on America' with ISBN 9780758203502 and ISBN 0758203500.
