Though we can never truly know what it is to walk in another's shoes, Wiley does offer some interesting insights as to what its like to be a black male in America (c. 1990, anyway). I first came across his work on ESPN, so when I saw this I had to pick it up. Really glad I did...
A book compiled from essays written by Ralph Wiley, a journalist and writer with many jobs as a commentator for various networks also. 32 essays cover various topics each one has Wiley's own spin and opinion. For a glimpse into African American culture and how one man thinks.
