Review:BLACK PASSENGER YELLOW CABS: An Erotic Ethnographic MemoirThis book is worth reading if one would like to understand the psyche of the third world. I read the two reviews which this book has received and realized that they just don't get it. Maybe one has to have seen where Stefhen grew up and understand the incredible, sheer luck it took to crawl out of such a hole and be able to write a memoir of his experiences.Fi... Read more

Review:This book was much more about the authors broad generalization and view of the Southern US, sometimes misguided, than it ever was about James Brown. I couldn't finish it after 2/3rds complete, I tried to push through it. The little bit of info actually gleaned on James Browns life can easily be found on Wikipedia. I'm more disappointed in my favorite magazine which recommended the book. Maybe they owed him a favor. Do yourself one... Read more

Review:I highly recommend this book. It was written beautifully and brings up very important issues that many people would rather ignore.

Review:While teaching high school English Literature, I thought we needed to read the book instead of an excerpt...
It is amazing how my students reacted... instead of rage they have displayed a loving gesture: they have been taking a minute of silence in the beggining of each of my classes... to remember those who did and did not survive Auschwitz. Read more

Review:An amazing and powerful trilogy. It follows the journey of John Lewis, and recounts his life/experiences throughout the civil rights movement. He mentions all the prominent leaders like MLK and Malcom X. It was truly a moving graphic novel that sheds light on the issues of America that still are problematic to this day. Read more

Review:I had become interested in learning more about the civil rights movement during this year's presidential election, so when I came across this book "by accident" when visiting a local book store I decided to give it a try. This book, without a doubt, is one of the best books I have ever read. "Walking with the Wind" is a compelling first-hand account of the civil rights movement from the perspective of one man who was on the front lines of the movement from day one. John Lewis was and still is a ... Read more

Review:The writing was a lucid, easy style that engages the reader from the initial pages. It was more relevant since Joe and Ma had stopped at my Native American trading post a few weeks ago. They were quite interesting to converse with which established a personal connection to their southie lifestyle. Read more
