RaveThe Washington PostSmith explores these themes with the precision of a neurosurgeon, cutting through America’s cancer of white supremacy ... Smith recognizes that this struggle to be free must also include an effort to rid the black community of sexism, misogyny and homophobia; otherwise blacks are no better than the very people who oppress us ... Smith adroitly wrestles with the persistent question of what it means to be a black male in a society that denies him his humanity ... This is a must-read book.
