Living to Tell About It Young Black Men in America Speak Their Piece

"A candid, often vexing collection of interviews with young black men on key contemporary issues...family, sex, work, religion, and violence. What emerges here is a bleak portrait of a disenfranchised, often morally bankrupt generation...The book makes clear...[that] success stories are atypical, and Dawsey echoes his subjects by clearly laying all the blame on a callous white power structure. Here is a sad and disturbing reminder that America must find solutions for her volatile and growing underclass. While the dominant street slang adds authenticity, the book may prove to be largely inaccessible to the very people who most need to read it."Dawsey, Darrell is the author of 'Living to Tell About It Young Black Men in America Speak Their Piece' with ISBN 9780385473149 and ISBN 0385473141.
