Review

"The young James Joyce of the hip-hop generation." - Walter Mosley "A remarkable, blunt portrait of an adolescence filled with danger, chaos, flaws, and tragedy ... a love story, dispatched from the frontlines of a family." - Time Out New York "A kind of hip-hop Portrait of the Artist." - Guardian "The intellectual heir to James Baldwin." - Financial Times "a moving father-and-son story ... an intense portrait of those whom the black revolution left behind, but who never broke faith with its tenets." - New York Review of Books "Told in a dreamy, lyric register redolent of a voiceover in a movie flashback, The Beautiful Struggle is both a touching portrait of filial affection and a paean to the redemptive power of culture" - Prospect "One of the most high-profile commentators on race in the United States ...Reading this book is an intoxicating experience" - Bernardine Evaristo, New Statesman "Forces us to ask how far American society has really come, and how much further it has to go." - Financial Times
