Man Child I n The Promised Land Claude Brown Book
by Claude Brown

A forceful and honest book documenting life in Harlem. An auto biography of Claude Brown growing up in the society of a physical and spiritual slum-ghetto of Harlem. His story represents that of as whole new pioneering generation of Negroes who have entered, for the first time, the mainstream of American society as complete people, solid, determined, aggressive, hopeful. An American story, one that demonstrates the indomitable will of once-enslaved people, one that is universal in its suffering and triumph, one that has not ended.
