Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Controversial hip-hop artist Souljah presents a memoir of growing up in the Bronx projects and offers broader views on the state of Afro-American life in America.
Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.


From Library Journal

In 1992, rapper Sister Souljah made big news, provoking a response from then-candidate Clinton to her exhortation that black people should "take a week and kill white people." Sister Souljah's social philosophy, apparently, has not changed much. In this rambling, lurid autobiography of her pre-rap star years, she works to attribute each shortcoming, mistake, or problem of every African American to one cause: white oppression. Her true attitude and the purpose of her tale are both unclear. Aggrandizing (at length) her "spiritual eye" and devotion to God, she simultaneously revels in the abuse of other humans. Claiming a transcendent, ascetic disdain for uncommitted sex, she blithely luxuriates in a series of affairs. While the brief concluding chapter offers solid, sensible advice for young people, Sister Souljah's earlier boasts belie its convictions. For a clearer, better-stated account of ghetto youth's struggle, consider Nathan McCall's Makes Me Wanna Holler (LJ 2/1/94). Buy only when the star's fans request it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Moving Memoir ----Yet Full of Bigotry, July 19, 2001
By A Customer
First, I want to say that I really admire what Sister Souljah was trying to do with this book. I mean, how many people just bare it all to the whole world in the hopes that others will learn from their mistakes? Not many! However, I feel this book is still very much limited by the author's own shortcomings. After an emotional and promising beginning, most of this book seems to be about how gorgeous she thinks she is and how let down she's been by black males. She talks about the damage racism has caused blacks all over the world and then espouses intrinsic racial beliefs about people constantly. Basically, she believes in genetic identity: that all black people are spiritually Africans and should probably live separately in their own country. (Should people who are part white and part black spend half their year in one country and then half in the other? What about people who are black, asian and white? Do they need three residences?) At certain points she was sounding uncomfortably like David Duke to me. And, when she runs into something she doesn't understand, such as homosexuality or white women who admire African culture, her first, middle, and last impulse is to judge and condemn. Her later novel The Coldest Winter Ever contains all the lessons this book was meant to, with only a sliver of the bigotry toward gays and anyone other than religious blacks. I would definitely recommend that book with five full stars, over this one. Yet while I didn't agree with much she had to say, this was a very moving, well written memoir. I still gotta give her respect for the fact that she cares so much about the situation of blacks in America that she is willing to put herself on the line for the cause.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Coldest Winter Ever, October 9, 2000
By A Customer
I thought this was a great book. Sister Souljah and Eric Jerome Dickey are two of my most favorite authors. Her book is so real ,interesting and exciting I didn't want to put it down. Her characters are some of the most interesting and complicated people, and the way the plot goes keeps you wondering whats going to happen next. It is a great book and I promise you won't be dissapointed if you read this. Some other good books are Cheaters, the Liar's Game, Milk In my coffe, and Friends and Lovers, by Eric Jerome Dickey. The coldest Winter Ever and all of Mr. Dickey's novels would make wonderful movies.

By A Customer
Sister Souljah is MAGNIFICENT!!!! I read "The Coldest Winter Ever" first, and I had to have this one!! The man at the bookstore told me that President Clinton had real issues about "No Disrespect". Thats when I REALLY wanted it. And I'm glad I got it. The girl is BAD!!! I can't wait for her next book to come out!!! This book is definitely a page turner!!! I highly recommend this book to every African man and woman!!!
