Reviews

This is journalistic writing at its best. --Publishers Weekly Readers interested in general public affairs with an emphasis on race relations will enjoy this broad social commentary. --Booklist Maximum Insight is a book to be read by those who pride themselves as 'thinking' Americans. --Tampa Bay Magazine Just when you start to settle in and relax a little, [Maxwell] pours a cupful of vinegar into your morning coffee. He performs, in other words, exactly as a good columnist should. He's a thorn in the side of contentment, and he doesn't much care whose contentment gets pierced. --FORUM Magazine Those looking for a different perspective on black consciousness can find it in this book. There is also considerable history about black life in Florida during the civil rights movement. However, the most significant contribution that Maxwell's columns provide is a departure from the monolithic views often seen in writings about the question of race in this country. --Journalism History
