"[AN] OUTSTANDING COLLECTION... The powerful opening excerpt by Frederick Douglass evokes his boyhood as a slave, and the collection closes with an eloquent discussion of the race problem today by Cornel West. A distinguished addition to black studies." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) The purpose of this extraordinary anthology is made abundantly clear by the editors' stated intention: "to create a living mosaic of essays and stories in which Black men can view themselves, and be viewed without distortion." In this, they have succeeded brilliantly. Brotherman contains more than one hundred and fifty selections, some never before published--from slave narratives, memoirs, social histories, novels, poems, short stories, biographies, autobiographies, position papers, and essays. Brotherman books us passage to the world that Black men experience as adolescents, lovers, husbands, fathers, workers, warriors, and elders. On this journey they encounter pain, confusion, anger, and love while confronting the life-threatening issues of race, sex, and politics--often as strangers in a strange land. The first collection of its kind, Brotherman gathers together a multitude of voices that add a new, unforgettable chapter to American cultural identity. From the Trade Paperback edition.

I have purchased 8 of these books in the last 2 months And they are great I gave them away as graduation presents to 8 young men and believe it or not they are reading them Thank you
-
I cannot own enough copies of this incredible collection of writings by Black American men. To read reflections from Sidney Poitier, Henry Louis Gates Jr., and Malcolm X and MORE in the same anthology is dynamic and insightful. I keep extras on hand to give out as gifts. This is an important collection of works.

The anthology encapsulates the American (Descendants Of Slaves) DOS male roles in American culture. Purchased price was a great value.
