{"product_id":"late-admissions-confessions-of-a-black-conservative","title":"Late Admissions","description":"Economist Glenn C. Loury is one of the most prominent public American intellectuals of our time: he's often radically opposed to the political mainstream and delights in upending what's expected of a Black public figure. But more so than the arguments themselves—on affirmative action, institutional racism, Trumpism—his public life has been characterised by fearlessness and a willingness to recalibrate strongly held and forcefully argued beliefs.\n\n\nLoury grew up on the south side of Chicago, earned a PhD in MIT’s economics programme and became the first Black tenured professor of economics at Harvard at the age of thirty-three. He has been, at turns, a young father, a drug addict, an adulterer, a psychiatric patient, a born-again Christian, a lapsed born-again Christian, a Black Reaganite who has swung from the right to the left and back again. In Late Admissions, Loury examines what it means to chart a sense of self over the course of a tempestuous but well-considered, life.","brand":"WW Norton \u0026 Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49723361624408,"sku":"9780393881349","price":32.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780393881349.jpg?v=1779859813","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/late-admissions-confessions-of-a-black-conservative","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
