<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A surprising and compelling anthology that reveals complex realities--beautiful, infuriating, painful, and uplifting--as described by African American writers in Minnesota over the past century.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A rich Minnesota literary tradition is brought into the spotlight in this groundbreaking collection of incisive prose and powerful poetry by forty-three black writers who educate, inspire, and reveal the unabashed truth.<br /><br />Historically significant figures tell their stories, demonstrating how much and how little conditions have changed: Gordon Parks hitchhikes to Bemidji, Taylor Gordon describes his first day as a chauffeur in St. Paul, and Nellie Stone Johnson insists on escaping the farm for high school in Minneapolis. A profusion of modern voices--poet Tish Jones, playwright Kim Hines, and memoirist Frank Wilderson--reflect the dizzying, complex realities of the present.<br /><br />Showcasing the unique vision and reality of Minnesota's African American community from the Harlem renaissance through the civil rights movement, from the black power movement to the era of hip-hop and the time of America's first black president, this compelling anthology provides an explosion of artistic expression about what it means to be a Minnesotan.<br /><br />Contributors include: Davida Adedjouma, Louis Alemayehu, E.G.
