 the Black community, Jerald Walker asserts in How To Make a Slave," anger 
 is often a prelude to a joke, as there is broad understanding that the 
 triumph over this destructive emotion is in finding its punchline." It is 
 on the knife's edge between fury and farce that the essays in this 
 exquisite collection balance. Whether confronting the medical profession's 
 racial biases, considering the complicated legacy of Michael Jackson, 
 paying homage to his writing mentor, or attempting to break free of 
 personal and societal stereotypes, Walker elegantly blends intimate 
 revelation and cultural critique. The result is a bracing, often humorous 
 examination by one of America's most acclaimed essayists of what it is to 
 grow, parent, write, and simply exist at this time as a Black American 
 male.\n\n"These powerful essays offer an incisive glimpse into life as a 
 Black man in America...crafted with honesty and a wry comedic flair, these 
 essays are both engaging and enraging." -Kirkus Review \n\nJerald Walker is 
 the author of The World in Flames: A Black Boyhood in a White Supremacist 
 Doomsday Cult and Street Shadows: A Memoir of Race, Rebellion, and 
 Redemption (winner of the 2011 PEN New England Award for Nonfiction). His 
 work has been widely anthologized, including five times in The Best 
 American Essays. He is currently Professor of Creative Writing at Emerson 
 College.\n\nKevin Cartwright, a former Program Director with KPFA Radio, 
 has also produced and contributed to a number of local and national public 
 affairs programs, including Democracy Now, Living Room, The Morning Show, 
 Education Today, 1440, and various short run documentaries.\n\nSuggested 
 Donation $5-$20.\n
