Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Black youth, particularly college-educated youth, are the supposed inheritors of the civil-rights struggles. Today many of this new generation are engaged in a new struggle--for their own identities. In Testimony black students across the country express their own understandings of their generation's shared experiences--from racism in school to the politics of hair.

Book News Annotation:

Journalists, novelists, and students discuss personal encounters with racism, relationships, education, art, revolution, and cultural identity in this anthology of some 40 young Black writers. Lacks an index.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
