Review
'For more than two decades, [Gil Scott-Heron] has been committed to examining those facts of the human condition that most of us would rather forget ... he is an artist who has crafted witty but crucial insights for Black America.' Washington Post
Product Description
On the campus of Sutton University, Virginia, the students are trying to carry forth the message of reconstruction to a university resistant to change. The failure of the Sutton to embrace the changing attitudes of the Sixties has necessitated extreme action and the revolution is nigh.

campus shenanigans in the 1970s
27 Sep 1999
Format:Paperback
Undoubtedly one of the most crude offerings regarding the state of American Universities during the 1970s. Revolving around a group of black students who decide that the way their campus is being run does not coincide with the way that they would like to see it run, developing into conferuntations not only with the 'man' but also within their ranks. A raw reflection of 'Race Politics' and the ideals behind the motivation that drove people to riot during this unstable political climate. This book not only examines university life but also the reasoning behind institutions and whether the 'University of Life' is not an altogether a better option.

This book helped me to articulate my college experience.

Format:Paperback
Gil Scott-Heron wrote one of the most underrated books ever written. I was personally moved by this story. Gil has a way of letting experience exactly what he is writing. He definitely proved that he is a writer to be reckond with.

Wow
22 Feb 1999
Format:Paperback
This is one of the best books I have read. Gil Scott-Heron uses his great vocabulary to convay the exact thing that he is thinking. Another way to enjoy the geinus of Gil Scott-Heron is to get the Cd's one that I recomend is "Midnight Band" also his work on the "Live" two fantastic albums but very differant the live one is wild and has jammed out stuff. Back to the book it has a great twist.
