About this title

Synopsis:

An African-American reporter reflects on his place in a predominantly white world and describes the transformation of the town in which he was raised from a thriving industrial city to a slum ridden with crime and drugs. 17,500 first printing. Tour.

From the Back Cover:

'Eloquent and skillfully crafted...Staples's descriptions have a breathtaking brilliance...He puts flesh and blood on the people who are being signified about during this nasty and cold-hearted period of our history and explores their conditions in depth, bringing insights that only an outsider-insider can see...This book is for the '90s what James Baldwin's The Fire Nest Time was for the '60.'--Ishmael Reed
