Cose returns to this territory with his latest book, The Envy of the World: On Being a Black Man in America (Washington Square Press, $22). Here, he takes a probing look at the dramatic obstacles that Black men face--poverty, drugs, AIDS, prison, murder--yet concludes that progress has been made. Still, he warns that society and Black America will suffer unless the institutional reins and individual flaws holding Black men back are not addressed.
