false 2054171 1 "[AN] OUTSTANDING COLLECTION...<br>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."<br>--Publishers Weekly (starred review)<br>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.<br>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.<br><br><br><i>From the Trade Paperback edition.</i> 2059338 31 1 1995 Brotherman: The Odyssey of Black Men in America -- An Anthology total:1|4:1| 1 4 3 0 2054171 0345376706 9780345376701 1 0 4.00 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2054171.Brotherman_The_Odyssey_of_Black_Men_in_America_An_Anthology 4 0 false Fri Jan 02 08:19:31 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 02 08:19:31 -0800 2009 2054171 0345376706 9780345376701 1 0 4.00 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2054171.Brotherman_The_Odyssey_of_Black_Men_in_America_An_Anthology 0 0 false Thu Jan 01 23:29:22 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 01 23:29:38 -0800 2009 2054171 0345376706 9780345376701 1 0 4.00 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2054171.Brotherman_The_Odyssey_of_Black_Men_in_America_An_Anthology 0 0 false Mon May 19 03:58:07 -0700 2008 Mon May 19 04:18:30 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=2054171
