Description
African Americans have been at war with certain elements of the white population
from the very beginning. Being black in this hemisphere is a battle, and each
day is one spent at the front. In this new collection of essays, his first since
Airing Dirty Laundry (1993), Ishmael Reed explores the many forms that this home
front war has taken. His brilliant social criticism feints deftly among past and
present, government and media, personal and political. From the author whose
essay style has been compared to the punching power of boxers Mike Tyson and
Muhammad Ali, this book is a series of fast, powerful jabs at America's long
tradition of racism. "Reed wears the mantle of Baldwin and Ellison like a
high-powered Flip Wilson in drag."
