"Welcome to the 21st Century" bids the opening line of this literary "multimedia" experience, brought to us by three leading Black author-activists of the post-Civil Rights Movement generation. This collection of more than 300 poems, essays, paintings, photos, and mixed media representations features myriad voices of the generation bridging the gap between the children of the Civil Rights Movement and those of the present hip hop movement.

A wonderful insight! Buy it now!,
By GabartaAsli@aol.com (Ann Arbor, MI, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Role Call: A Generational Anthology of Social and Political Black Literature and Art (English and English Edition) (Paperback)
This book is an eloquent, well put together collage of Black America today. The anthology leads you into deep, riveting poetry, stories, art and excerpts depicting the role of young Black America today, and what we stand on the brink of doing tomorrow. I think everyone should buy this book!
