C-SPAN2's Book TV: July 7-9

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Insightful author interviews
Saturday 9 PM, Sunday 6 PM and 9 PM ET
Spelman College President Beverly Daniel Tatum discusses her book Can We Talk about Race?: And Other Conversations in an Era of School Resegregation with Roger Wilkins, Professor Emeritus at George Mason University. Ms. Tatum argues that negative stereotyping of African American students compromises their ability to live up to their academic potential. She also argues against what she sees as a trend toward de facto resegregation of the nation's schools, brought about by segregated neighborhoods.


Weekend Highlights
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gunter Grass and Norman Mailer interviewed and in conversation with Andrew O'Hagan
In a program entitled "The 20th Century on Trial" Nobel Prize winning novelist, Gunter Grass and Pulitzer Prize winning author Norman Mailer discuss their life and work with novelist Andrew O'Hagan. Gunter Grass has recently published his memoir, Peeling the Onion in which he divulges his participation in the Waffen SS at the age of seventeen. Norman Mailer recently penned his first novel in almost ten years, The Castle in the Forest which focuses on the childhood of Adolf Hitler.
(Sunday 7 PM ET)

Joan Quigley, The Day The Earth Caved In: An American Mining Tragedy
Joan Quigley documents the Centralia, Pennsylvania mine fire that began in 1962 and still burns to this day. The source of the fire and the contention of its duration caused great argument and division in the mining town whose population thirty years ago was over 1,000 and today is all but deserted.
(Saturday 7 PM, Sunday 11 PM ET)

Cullen Murphy, Are We Rome?: The Fall of an Empire and the Fate of America
Journalist Cullen Murphy argues that America today closely resembles the Roman Empire just before its collapse. Among the similarities Mr. Murphy sees: large, overburdened militaries; porous borders with many ethnicities sharing the same state; and a desire to remake the world. But, in his book Are We Rome?, Mr. Murphy also notes differences, such as America's stable democracy, strong economy and technological innovation.
(Saturday 8 PM, Sunday 10 AM ET)

Phil Kent, Foundations of Betrayal: How the Liberal Super-Rich Undermine America
Phil Kent talks about the influence of liberal foundations in changing the culture of America. Mr. Kent argues that while many of these foundations started off with admirable goals, some of the biggest have since been hijacked by anti-capitalist, anti-American radicals who use these foundations to further their own political agendas.
(Sunday 10 PM ET)

Brink Lindsey, The Age of Abundance: How Prosperity Transformed America's Politics and Culture
Brink Lindsey argues that post-World War II prosperity in the United States transformed American culture as increased wealth and improvements in everyday life allowed Americans to turn their attention to social matters, shattering traditional societal conventions. The resulting liberal counterculture, which in turn engendered a conservative backlash, Mr. Lindsey argues, is creating a libertarian consensus combining the social freedom of the left with the economic freedom of the right.
(Sunday 6 AM and 3 PM ET)
