Produktbeschreibung

Funny, sad, angry, and refreshingly honest, this provocative commentary explores black culture and what needs to be done to fix neighborhoods and improve lives. Many men-from Bill Cosby to Michael Eric Dysen-have spoken out about African American society. But where are the voices of the women, especially the young, funny, witty, sarcastic ones? Meet Jam Donaldson, a provocateur of the most entertaining kind. Donaldson offers real actions people can take to improve their lives and black society overall, never taking a condescending, holier-than-thou tone. She weaves her own warring viewpoints-the internal struggle between Jam "e;the Negro"e; and Jam "e;the American"e;-into the discussion of what's wrong and what needs to be done to fix it. Donaldson provides not only comic relief but a window into the complex, contradictory perspectives that exist within every member of the black community. Conversate Is Not a Word is a call to action and a practical guide for responsible, personal activism.
