Cidade de Deus: a place where the streets are awash with narcotics, where violence can erupt at any moment over drugs, money, and love - but also a place where the samba beat rocks till dawn, where the women are the most beautiful on earth, and where one young man wants to escape his background and become a photographer. When City of God erupted on screens worldwide, it became one of the most critically and commercially successful foreign films of recent years.

This book was very good in a surprising way. I expected the book to be similar to the movie, but the movie strays from the source material in many ways.

A collection of Jackson's letters from prison, Soledad Brother is an outspoken condemnation of the racism of white America and a powerful appraisal of the prison system that failed to break his spirit but eventually took his life. Jackson's letters make palpable the intense feelings of anger and rebellion that filled Black men in America's prisons in the 1960s. But even removed from the social and political firestorms of the 1960s, Jackson's story still resonates for its portrait of a man taking a stand even while locked down.

The narrator brings emotion that can only come from a family member that has truly been affected by this story.

A Master Piece Written In Hell.
Revisado: 04-23-24
This narrative if I can call it that encapsulates the struggle of a down trodden, deredated, and hated people. The still struggles for righteous under the most atrocious conditions. I write this just days after a black woman working as a delivery driver for Amazon was shot and murder I cold blood by a white man. The year is 2024 and Little has changed. R.I.P conrad George Jackson and my Soledad Brothers.

Excellent book that captured the grit and militancy of the L.A. gang culture. I wish Audible provided the authors autobiography "Monster".

The Dark Web's first success story was a drugs 'eBay.' Vendors sold narcotics and pharmaceuticals directly to each other freely and anonymously. Then the FBI shut it down and unmasked its owner, Ross Ulbricht. The sting operation was ridiculous. Geoff White, Channel 4 News's former Technology Reporter, speaks with a key player at the heart of the takedown. His story is astonishing.

Shame on you
Revisado: 04-18-21
I like how no where in the Silk Road story was there any "Black" people involved. But when tasked to find a voice actor to simulate the conversation between the drug dealer and the journalist. Some how they settled on a black man. Its this subtle kind of racist programming that is insidious and seeps into every facet of life. Caucasians are the biggest purveyors of vice world wide but some how black and brown people are made out to be the poster children of illicit behavior and vice.

Continuously available in print since 1968, this novel has become embedded in progressive anti-racist culture with wide circulation of the book and hotly debated film. A literary classic, The Spook Who Sat by the Door is a strong comment on entrenched racial inequities in the United States in the late 1960s. With its focus on the “militancy” that characterized the Black Power movement of the 1960s and 1970s, this is the story of one man’s reaction to ruling-class hypocrisy.

In the historical context of the Jim Crow South, Gail explores her mother's decision to pass, how she hid her secret even from her own husband, and the price she paid for choosing whiteness. Haunted by her mother's fear and shame, Gail embarks on a quest to uncover her mother's racial lineage, tracing her family back to 18th-century colonial Louisiana. In coming to terms with her decision to publicly out her mother, Gail changed how she looks at race and heritage.

A Caucasian womans dillusion of race.
Revisado: 10-18-20
This whole book was annoying to me as a man of color with a very racially diverse family and upbringing. This woman spends the entire book trying to delineate her colored ancestors from the whole of black America. She uses terms like "Mulatto" and "Free persons of color" in an attempt to differentiate and restore the social paradigm of "the lighter the better" which is the bedrock of white supremacy and the pseudo science of eugenics. She constantly refers to the one drop rule that has in the past and still to this day relocates all biracial people to the subordinate designation of "Black". This phenomenon isn't exclusively to her family and doesn't really apply being that most her relatives were half black and weren't the product of some minuscule amount of a racial admixture. Looking at the picture of her mother it eludes me how she could even pass for white. From the photo on this book's cover she appears to me to just be a run of the mill lighter skinned black woman. This book is one woman's attempt to self validate herself being amongst the white majority after discovering the contrary. Too men Caucasians subscribe to the ideology of racial superiority conciously or subconsciously and this book made that very apparent.
