Loury is one of the most prominent public 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 characterized by fearlessness and a willingness to recalibrate strongly held and forcefully argued beliefs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLoury grew up on the south side of Chicago, earned a PhD in MIT’s economics program, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":52891228700959,"sku":"A1725","price":8.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/0546\/5119\/files\/ebook_1040_b0c8ab55e0.jpg?v=1789632171","url":"https:\/\/lumobook.store\/products\/late-admissions-confessions-of-a-black-conservative","provider":"LumoBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
