I can recommend Losing the Race quite highly, it's not too long a book (Winning the Race is a bit longer) and it sums up his main points quite well. Aside from making an argument relevant to the present-day right-left culture war, it's also just an interesting insight into Black America, which wasn't a topic I was particularly familiar with.

You're welcome and thanks back!
I don't know if you know Goodreads, but maybe you want to join (if you aren't a member already) and add some former and current UL members?

I was pleasantly surprised to learn this book was originally written in Welsh.
