Product Description

Synopsis
An irreverent, brilliant, politically charged barrage of essays aimed at the perpetrato rs of America's war on blacks Afric an Americans have been at war with certain element s of the white population from the very beginning. Being black in this hemisphere is a battle, and e ach day is one spent at the front. In this new col lection of essays, his first since Airing Dirty La undry (1993), Ishmael Reed explores the many forms that this homefront war has taken. His brilliant social criticism feints deftly among past and pres ent, government and media, personal and political. From the author whose essay style has been compar ed to the punching power of boxers Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali, this book is a series of fast, power ful jabs at America's long tradition of racism. "Reed wears the mantle of Baldwin and Ellison lik e a high-powered Flip Wilson in drag."--Baltimor e Sun"Ishmael Reed is a genius."--Terry McMi llan"The sweep of his work has both grandeur a nd genius, and even when you disagree with him, he has you laughing, often at yourself. His always-p rovocative writing has humanity, humor, power, and vision. A true original."--Jill Nelson
