My office is next to the local weekly paper..They put out a box of help yourself free books. I dug through it and grabbed that.
Its a very interesting read...I tend to gravitate towards history books for my reading for the most part, and this one fit the bill.
For anyone with an "obsession"( not the right word, but you know what I mean) with race relations and studying that sort of stuff, I think its a must read...
especially considering the modern face of pop hip hop
