"A hard-hitting sermon on the racial divide, directed specifically to a white congregation." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review

A New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, and Boston Globe Bestseller

As the country grapples with racial division at a level not seen since the 1960s, Michael Eric Dyson's voice is heard above the rest. In Tears We Cannot Stop, a provocative and deeply personal call or change, Dyson argues that if we are to make real racial progress, we must face difficult truths, including being honest about how Black grievance has been ignored, dismissed, and discounted. In the tradition of James Baldwin's The Fire Next Time -- short, emotional, literary, powerful -- this is the book that all Americans who care about the current and long-burning crisis in race relations need to read.

Praise for Tears We Cannot Stop

Named a Best/Most Anticipated Book of 2017 by: The Washington Post ? Bustle ? Men's Journal ? The Chicago Reader ? StarTribune ? Blavity? The Guardian ? NBC New York's Bill's Books ? Kirkus Reviews ? Essence

"Elegantly written and powerful in several areas: moving personal recollections; profound cultural analysis; and guidance for moral redemption. A work to relish." -- Toni Morrison

"Here's a sermon that's as fierce as it is lucid... If you're black, you'll feel a spark of recognition in every paragraph. If you're white, Dyson tells you what you need to know -- what this white man needed to know, at least. This is a major achievement. I read it and said amen." -- Stephen King

"One of the most frank and searing discussions on race... a deeply serious, urgent book, which should take its place in the tradition of Baldwin's The Fire Next Time and King's Why We Can't Wait." -- The New York Times Book Review
