Negative Positive
Title: Noteworthy
Review: As a college student, I chose this book due to my interest in history. It relates to that and much more. The black man's struggle with trying to find an identity in a white society which continues to ignore it. How the prison system oppresses rather than empowers. This book paved the way for the Black Panthers and a better understanding of the civil rights movement. Even though Cleaver is angry and hateful, he is an intelligent and observant writer. He educates himself through reading and writing, even while in the depressing circumstances of prison. His experiences in prison have been captured beautifully. Anyone who wants to understand race relations, incarceration, religion,and literature should read this book!
