 happens to the black boys who come of age in neglected, heavily policed, 
 and economically desperate cities that the War on Drugs and mass 
 incarceration have created? How do they learn to live, love, and grow up? 
 Where should they turn when history rejects their very existence? Darnell 
 explores these questions in NO ASHES IN THE FIRE.  When Darnell Moore was 
 fourteen years old, three boys from his neighborhood tried to set him on 
 fire. They cornered him while he was walking home from school, harassed him 
 because they assumed he was gay, and poured gasoline on him. He barely 
 escaped with his life.  On many other occasions there were terrifying 
 confrontations, including some within his family... \n\nThree decades 
 later, Moore is an award-winning writer and activist, a leader in the 
 Movement for Black Lives, and a tireless advocate for justice and 
 liberation.  No Ashes in the Fire is his compelling account of how that 
 bullied, frightened teenager not only survived, but found such a unique 
 calling.  An editor-at-large at the content distributor Urban One, and a 
 columnist at Logo, Darnell L. Mooore describes his bold, candid memoir as 
 "snapshots of my life" molded by forces of "brutality, poverty, and 
 self-hatred."\n\nDarnell L. Moore (born in 1976 in Camden, NJ) is an 
 American writer and activist whose work is characterized by anti-racist, 
 feminist, queer, and anti-colonial thought and advocacy. His essays, social 
 commentary, poetry and interviews have appeared in various national and 
 international media venues, including The Feminist Wire, Ebony Magazine, 
 and The Huffington Post.\n\n$12 advance, $15 door.\n
