Daniel Geary's Beyond Civil Rights: The Moynihan Report and Its Legacy just came out in June, but it's already getting attention, with Geary's writing popping up across the Web. Here' s a short round-up.

The Boston Review, "Letter to the Editor: The Moynihan Report at Fifty"—Geary responds to Stephen Steinberg's recent essay on the Moynihan Report, also in the Boston Review. Make sure to take a look at the comments section, where the two authors spar for a few posts about how their interpretations of the report differ.
