Brand Name:  Nathan McCall
Item # / SKU:  1391
Autobiography/African-American Studies ¿Sooner or later, every generation must find its voice. It may be that ours belongs to Nathan McCall, whose memoir is ... a stirring tale of transformation. He is a mesmerizing storyteller.¿ ¿ Henry Louis Gates, Jr., The New Yorker Nathan McCall was a smart kid growing up in a close, protective family in a black working-class neighborhood. Yet by the age of fifteen, McCall was packing a gun and embarking on a criminal career that five years later would land him in prison for armed robbery. In this blistering memoir, McCall chronicles his passage from the street to the prison yard¿and, ultimately,to the newsrooms of the Washington Post, where he is now a respected journalist. His story is at once devastating and inspiring. For even as he recounts his transformation, McCall compels us to recognize that racism is as pervasive in the newsroom as it is in the inner city, where it condemns so many black men to prison, dead-end jobs, or violent deaths. At once an indictment and an elegy, Makes Me Wanna Holler is sure to take its place among the classics of African- American experience. ¿Angry, eloquent, and powerful ... a relentlessly honest book filled with pain, triumph, rage and humor, high and low.¿ ¿Los Angeles Times Book Review

    Item # / SKU:  tb book
    In this story we get to see Johnny O'Brien grow up to a teen with his black mother named Phala. His father is white and was not around to raise him. Johnny looks white but is raised in a ghetto type neighborhood. When he is a teen his mother is gang raped and put into a mental institute. This is where the story really begins, when Johnny meets a guy street named "Blue" because of his dark skin. He takes Johnny under his wing as a partner in the con game and teaches it to Johnny. Blue street names Johnny "White Folks". Blue's whole life is "Con" and he believes that with a black partner who looks white he will be able to run the con on a larger group of people. Which turns out to be true, I had a good time reading about the different ways that they conned people and all their trials along the way. The book is comical in some parts. Blue really takes on a fatherly role for "White Folks" as his relationship with his lesbian daughter is not as close as he would like. I liked being taken to a whole different world while reading this book. Late 50's early 60's. The way they talked the slang and the price's of things - I really loved this book. White Folks and Blue go through a lot of drama - that they bring on themselves

    Item # / SKU:  1730
    The story of Otis Tilson, an incredibly comely and tragic homosexual queen. The dialogue is in the gut idiom of the queer-the black ghetto-the ddep south-the underworld-the world of Iceberg Slim, Otis Tilson and his family. It is the story of the black men living in ghetto torture chambers, men who have been and continue to be niggerized and deballed bt the poisonus pus of double-standard justice, racial bigotry, and criminal economic freeze-out, and of the price paid by their children. In this case, Otis Tilson, his older brother, and two beautiful sisters are adrift in the dark world of pimpdom and crime and violence, where good is condemned and evil applauded.
