This review is from: Souls for Sale: The Diary of an Ex-Colored Man--Conflict and Compromise of Second Generation Advocacy in the Post Civil Rights Era (Hardcover)

Anthony Asadullah Samad writes from his heart. This is a book about rebirth and the changes that he went thru to become who he is today. It's about being an advocate for his people at all cost. It should be required reading for African American Studies everywhere. It will captures you from the beginning until the end. Excellent debut Mr. Samad.
