Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers is a 1970 book by
Tom Wolfe. The book, Wolfe's fourth, is composed of two articles by Wolfe, "These Radical Chic Evenings," first published in June 1970 in
New York magazine, about a gathering
Leonard Bernstein held for the
Black Panther Party and "Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers," about the response of many minorities to
San Francisco's poverty programs. Both essays looked at the conflict between
black rage and
white guilt.
