173,95 kr. "...Or does it Explode" is a thrilling historic man-hunt murder mystery about what's possible in a society that obstructs social justice in favor of a false and temporary (400 years) sense of racial superiority and security. The yearning for justice breeds a Demark Vesey sense of vigilante vengeance in an oddball group of black men experience in gun usage and military tactics, but who also know to keep a secret. The call themselves the Larry Davis Posse, but the press dubs them the Black Marble Vigilante. A fictional story based on events that have happened and events that have yet to happen, The FBI forms a task force to hunt down the cop killers before angry white mobs invade black communities to extract their own brand of revenge. There is a desperate race against time. Black preachers call for the creation of an American law enforcement Truth and Reconciliation Commission to stop the police killing of unarmed black men and boys, while professor Rottemure's book The End of White People, hypothesize the end of white people. . The tale "Or Does It Explode" provides a powerful message from a Black Arts Movement era writer drained from all of the killings of innocent unarmed black men and boys - not just the recent rash of killings of 2012 to 2016 but all of the killings of more than the last half century, and then even the killings since 1619 when the first slaves were brought to Jamestown Virginia. The book is dedicated to Eleanor Bumpers, the emotionally disturbed elderly black woman shot gunned to death in 1984 by NYPD for being behind in her rent.

188,95 kr. A memoir of a young boy growing up in the Amsterdam projects during the 1950's. It is a coming of age story that chronicles the lives of a generation of urban youth growing up on the crest of the Civil Right Movement, in a diverse community coalescing to meet the future; it is the saga of a communities' triumphs and failures filled with rich characters whose ordinary lives are both repelling and inspiring - it is the story of how from the wretched arose the worthy. This story is told with the kind of affection people have for a childhood spent in a middle-class safe haven. People from the projects don't feel this way - outsiders would think what an odd sentiment to hold about a place that suggests poverty and hardships, and we had them in abundance, but we seldom focused on it and we never gave in to it. There isn't one of us who would say that we were poor although back then, many of us didn't have two nickels to rub together. Poverty isn't just about the lack of money; it's also about the lack of spirit, we had plenty spirit.
