"Probing, entertaining and agitating."—Essence

By the acclaimed and controversial author of Why Black People Tend to Shout, this is an unblinking look at African-American life, including explosive essays on education, Rodney King, multiculturalism, and men and women. Part fiery polemic, part stinging satire, part lyrical testament to how Black people survive everyday racism—Wiley leaves no stone unturned as he demands that all Black people think about where they are and what they really want to happen.
